LIVE CHURCH TRANSLATION

Translate Your Church Service
so everyone hears in their own language

Turn any Sunday service, sermon, or worship gathering into a service every visitor and member can follow — live, in the language they understand best.

Church service translation lets your congregation hear the whole service — the welcome, the sermon, the announcements — in their own language as it happens. An operator speaks into a microphone or feeds the sound desk, and Jesus Speaks instantly transcribes, translates, and delivers the message as live on-screen captions and natural spoken voice. Visitors and members join on their own phones through a link or QR code, choose their language, and follow along. Up to 87 output languages at once, from 56 spoken input languages, so no one in the room is left out.

How a church translates its Sunday service live

The heart of it is simple. One person on your team acts as the operator. They either speak into a dedicated microphone or connect Jesus Speaks to the audio your sound desk is already carrying — the same feed that runs your speakers. From that single source, the service is transcribed in real time and translated into every language your congregation needs, all at the same moment.

Listeners don't install anything. You put a link or QR code on the screen, in the bulletin, or by the doors. A visitor scans it, picks their language, and within seconds they're hearing the sermon in spoken voice through their earbuds and reading live captions on their phone. A Spanish-speaking family, a Farsi-speaking newcomer, and a deaf member reading captions can all follow the same message in the same room.

Because everything runs off one audio feed, adding the tenth or the fortieth language costs your team no extra effort. You set it up once, and the service reaches everyone who walked through the doors — no interpreter booths, no headsets to hand out and collect, no separate overflow room.

Every part of the service, not just the sermon

Worship services are more than the message. The call to worship, the prayers, the announcements about Wednesday's meal, the invitation at the end — these are where visitors decide whether they belong. When only the sermon is translated, newcomers catch the teaching but miss the life of the church around it.

Jesus Speaks translates whatever the operator speaks, so you can carry the entire flow of the service. Keep it running through the welcome and the announcements, hand the microphone to whoever is leading, and the translation follows. Captions stay on the listener's phone so someone who looks away for a moment can catch back up, and the spoken voice keeps pace with the speaker so it feels like a natural part of worship rather than a delayed afterthought.

For services that also stream, it works live on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex — so members joining from home or from another country hear the service in their language too.

Built for the local church and the Great Commission

Jesus Speaks was built by a missionary church planter to serve the local church, not to chase a profit margin. Pricing is credit-based — one credit equals one euro — and you're billed only for the language-hours people actually listen to. A church with three Spanish listeners on a given Sunday pays for three, not for a room of theoretical seats.

Every church starts with €5 of free credit, valid for 45 days — enough to run a real service and see how it lands with your congregation before you commit to anything. A card is needed to start; it isn't charged unless you choose to continue. Ministries that genuinely need help can apply for a scholarship — the goal is that cost never keeps a language out of a service.

Whether you're a neighborhood congregation welcoming a growing immigrant community or a multi-site church reaching several language groups at once, the aim is the same: that everyone hears the good news in their own language, the way the crowd did at Pentecost.

Frequently asked questions

How do I translate my church service into multiple languages?

An operator on your team speaks into a microphone or connects Jesus Speaks to your sound system's audio feed. The service is transcribed, translated, and delivered as live captions and spoken voice in up to 87 languages at once. Congregation members join on their own phones through a link or QR code and choose their language — no equipment to hand out and nothing for them to install.

Do visitors need to download an app to follow the service?

No. Listeners simply scan a QR code or open a link on their own phone, select the language they understand best, and immediately begin hearing the service in spoken voice and reading live captions. There is nothing to install and no account required to listen.

How many languages can a service be translated into at the same time?

Jesus Speaks supports up to 87 output languages simultaneously, from 56 spoken input languages. Because everything runs from a single audio feed, adding more languages takes no extra effort from your team — the same service reaches every language group in the room at once.

Can the whole service be translated, or just the sermon?

Whatever the operator speaks is translated — the welcome, prayers, announcements, and the sermon. You can keep it running through the entire service so newcomers follow not just the message but the full life of the church around it.

How much does church service translation cost?

Pricing is credit-based, where one credit equals one euro, and you're billed only for the language-hours people actually listen to. Every church gets €5 of free credit, valid for 45 days, to run a real service first, and scholarships are available for ministries that need them. It's priced at ministry cost, not for a for-profit margin.

Does it work for online or livestreamed services?

Yes. Jesus Speaks works live on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex, so members joining from home or from other countries hear the service translated into their own language alongside those in the building.
