No headsets or equipment
Listeners use the phone already in their pocket. Nothing to hand out, charge, collect or wipe down after the service.
Live translation for church services
Your pastor preaches the way they always do. Everyone else follows along on their own phone, reading live captions or listening in their own language. No headsets, no app, no interpreter booth.
Free to start · No credit card · Ready in about ten minutes
How it works
If you can plug in a projector, you can set this up. Most churches are ready in about ten minutes.
Open the Same Sermon live console in a web browser on a laptop or tablet at the sound desk. Plug in your sound board, or simply let the computer’s microphone listen.
Put it in the bulletin, on a slide before the sermon, or on a card at the end of each pew. We make a printable poster for you.
Neighbors scan the code, choose their language and read along. Or they tap Listen and hear it through their own earbuds. Words appear a few seconds after they’re spoken.
Made for the way churches work
Listeners use the phone already in their pocket. Nothing to hand out, charge, collect or wipe down after the service.
Ten people or a thousand, the price is the same. We never charge per listener, on any plan.
Add a custom word list with your pastors’ names, your ministries and the Bible terms your church uses. Bible words follow the wording churches in each language already use.
Show captions in the preacher’s own language too, for members who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who simply follow better by reading.
Add translated captions to ProPresenter, OBS or vMix with a simple web address. Your online congregation can follow along, too.
We don’t record your sermon. Listeners never sign up, and we don’t track who is listening.
Room at the table
Almost every church has someone who catches only part of the sermon. A grandmother who moved in with her children. A family who just arrived from across the world. A new coworker who came because you invited him, and is too polite to say he’s lost.
Same Sermon lets you tell them, in their own words: you belong here, too. Not in a separate room or a later service, but beside everyone else, hearing the same message at the same time.
“…a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne.”
Revelation 7:9
Languages
From Spanish and Korean to Haitian Creole, Amharic and Tagalog. Right-to-left scripts like Arabic and Farsi read the way they should.
Pricing
Every plan includes unlimited listeners. You never pay per person.
An honest word
It’s good, and it keeps getting better. But it isn’t perfect. It can stumble on names, fast speech, jokes, idioms and muddy sound. We’d rather tell you that now than have you find out on Easter Sunday.
Think of it as a tool for hospitality, not a replacement for the people who make your church a family. Your bilingual members still matter more than any software.
Christmas offer
Start before December 25, 2026, and your church gets the full Church plan free until January 1, 2027. That covers Advent, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. No credit card needed.
Questions
No. Listeners scan a QR code and a web page opens on their phone. They choose a language and start reading or listening. No app, no account, no password.
A laptop or tablet with Chrome, Edge or Safari, placed at the sound desk or anywhere near a speaker. For the clearest sound, connect it to your sound board with a small USB audio adapter. Your listeners bring their own phones.
It’s good, and it’s honest about being a machine. AI translation can miss names, jokes and fast speech. Add your church’s names to the custom word list, give it clean sound, and ask a bilingual member to follow along on your first Sunday. More on translation quality.
No. Every plan includes unlimited listeners. You never pay per person, so you never have to wonder whether one more visitor will cost you.
No. Sermon audio is used to make captions and then discarded. Listeners are anonymous. On the Church plan, you can keep text transcripts of your services, and you can delete them anytime.
Start free in about ten minutes. No credit card, nothing to install, and no limit on how many people can listen.
