One person talks at the front. Everyone else follows on the phone already in their pocket, in the language they think in, from 200+ languages. Nothing to hand out, nothing to charge overnight, nothing to explain twice.
They are not the same promise. Some languages can be spoken from the stage. Nearly all of them can be read as captions. Many can be heard out loud in a natural voice. Look yours up before you plan anything. It takes ten seconds and it saves a conversation later.

200+ languages with their regional variants. See the full list and what each one can do.
You open it, people join it, you speak, you close it. That is the whole idea.
One room carries several languages at once. Each person picks their own when they join, and can change it later without leaving.
People join by scanning a code on a screen or a printed sheet, or by typing seven digits. Put it in the bulletin, on a slide, or on a card by the door.
People get in with the code, the link or the square you share, and with nothing else. Nobody wanders into a room by guessing.
Words appear on the screen almost as they are said. The spoken voice follows a moment behind. People experience the talk as it happens, not afterwards.
It opens in the browser your guests already have. Nothing to download, no account to create, nothing to explain to somebody in a hurry.
Running a main hall and two workshops? Open a room for each. If you need several running side by side regularly, tell us what you are planning.
A person’s name, the name of your building, a phrase your community uses and nobody else does. Four things work together to protect those words, and all four are included.
A sentence is understood before it is turned into another language, so the result is what your speaker meant rather than the words they happened to use.
How Smart Translation works →
Paste in the outline, the agenda or the reading list before you start. The whole session then knows where the talk is going, not just the sentence in front of it.
Context Enhancer →
Add the names, places and terms that have to be right. They come out the same way every time, in every language the room is running.
Keywords →
When the speaker mentions something a newcomer would not know, a one line note appears on the listener’s screen, in their own language.
Smart Hints →
Put the words on the screen you already have: a projector, a monitor in the foyer, the television in the overflow room.
One screen can be split into as many as four areas, each showing a different language, or a note, or the code people scan to join. You choose the colours and the text size so it can be read from the back row.
They scan the square on the screen. They tap their language from a list. They read, or they put in one earbud and listen. That is all of it.
A church service, a conference, a lecture, a wedding, a live show. What changes is who is listening and what they are afraid of missing.
Pay per gathering with a church pass. Guests pick their own language on the spot.
The main stage and every breakout, without a booth or a box of receivers.
One day, every guest included, and nothing to subscribe to afterwards.
The mourner who travelled furthest follows the readings and the eulogy silently, in their own language.
The student who is still learning the language of instruction gets the hour back.
Hosts and pastors on what made the difference in their rooms.
“In general: the setup is quick, easy and straight forward!”
Vineyard Speyer
“Especially exciting: the ‘smart hints’! We had speakers who used many typical German idioms which can not be easily translated. So those hints were very helpful, and our foreign listeners felt much more part of the community when funny idioms made the German laugh …”
Vineyard Speyer
“I also used the ‘Invite’ function several times … very helpful feature when the QR-code is not at hand …”
Vineyard Speyer
“Before, we had a person who translated live what was being said, and the people who did not speak Danish sat with headphones and listened in. Now we can just switch the translation on, and they can scan a code themselves and get the translation on their own phone.”
Lead pastor, Åbenkirke Odense
His own words, in Danish:
Før havde vi en person, der live-oversatte det, der blev sagt, og de ikke-dansktalende sad med høretelefoner og lyttede med. Nu kan vi bare tænde for oversættelsen, og de kan selv scanne en QR-kode og få oversættelsen på deres egen telefon.
“It can translate from different languages into exactly the language you want to both hear it in and read it in. I think that is a wonderful thing, and in our case it has worked well.”
General secretary, TRO og LIV
His own words, in Danish:
Jeg synes, det har været spændende at prøve af, det med at det kan oversætte fra forskellige sprog til lige præcis det sprog, man selv gerne vil både høre det i og eventuelt læse det på. Det synes jeg er en fantastisk mulighed, og det har fungeret godt i vores tilfælde.
“We are so satisfied with the solution you have built and keep developing that we have decided to run on your platform for a longer period, also after the Pentecost programme has ended. We are excited to see how good it can get.”
Church council, Vestermarkskirken, Grindsted
His own words, in Danish:
Vi er så tilfredse med den løsning du har lavet og fortsat udvikler, at vi har besluttet at køre på din platform i længere tid, også når pinseprogrammet er udløbet. Vi er spændt på hvor godt det kan blive.
Not a demonstration. A real gathering, with your own people in it.
