Live translation for your Sunday service.
Speecho listens to the sermon and streams subtitles in real time - in the language being spoken, or translated into the one your visitors need. Put them on the screen, or let people scan a QR code and read along on their own phones.
Start live translation →So nobody sits through a service they can only half follow
Visitors, new families and members who struggle to hear - all reading the same words.
A congregation that speaks more than one language
Visitors follow maybe half the sermon, and a volunteer interpreter is not there every week.
Now: The sermon appears as live subtitles, translated into the language your visitors need.
Members who can't hear well
A hearing loop covers a few seats, and "sit closer to the front" is not a solution.
Now: Large, readable captions of what is being said - on the screen, or in their own hands.
Equipment budgets that do not exist
Interpretation systems mean transmitters, receivers, batteries and a volunteer handing them out and collecting them again.
Now: A laptop at the sound desk and the phones people brought with them. Billed by the second, only while you are using it.
Three steps on a Sunday morning
Set up once at the sound desk; after that it is a button before the service starts.
Point it at the sound
Open Speecho on the laptop at the sound desk and pick the microphone - or capture the audio from the tab you already stream the service in.
Show the QR code
Turn on the live link and put the QR code on the screen or in the bulletin. Visitors scan it and read along in their browser - no account, no app.
Keep the transcript
When the service ends the session is saved as a transcript with an AI summary, and the same link keeps working for anyone who missed it.
Subtitles appear while the sentence is still being spoken
Interim words show up instantly and settle as the phrase completes - original above, translation below.

Hola a todos, gracias por acompañarnos hoy.
Hello everyone, thank you for joining us today.
Vamos a empezar con los resultados del último trimestre.
Let's start with the results from the last quarter.
Las ventas crecieron un veinte por ciento.
Sales grew by twenty percent.
The pastor's name, right every Sunday
Add the words once in Glossary, and every service after that uses them until you change the list.
- Names: the pastor, the church, Nebuchadnezzar, Gethsemane
- Your church's words in each language, e.g. Holy Communion = Santa Cena
- The service in one line, e.g. "Sunday service at a Lutheran church"
Or let them listen instead of reading
The live interpreter speaks the translation in a natural voice. Visitors scan a QR code and hear the sermon in their headphones, a few seconds behind the preacher.
- For children and anyone who finds reading along tiring
- The phones and headphones people already bring
- Up to 20 listeners, one language per service
Pay only for what you use
Top up once. Credits never expire. No subscription. One wallet for transcription, scans and captions.
New accounts get 15 free minutes to try - credits work for scans and captions too.
Frequently asked questions
Can visitors listen to the translation instead of reading it?
Yes, with the live interpreter. Visitors open a link or scan a QR code, and the translation is spoken in a natural voice in their headphones, a few seconds behind the preacher. It serves up to 20 listeners in one language per service, and it uses your balance faster than subtitles.
How do visitors read the subtitles?
They open a link - usually by scanning a QR code you show on the screen or print in the bulletin. It opens a page in their phone browser with the subtitles as they are spoken. No account, no app, nothing to install. Up to 20 people can follow one session; if you need a bigger room, contact us.
Can we show two languages at the same time?
One session translates into one language, and you can switch that language mid-service without stopping. If you need two languages at once, run a second session on another laptop or phone: each has its own link and QR code, and each is billed separately.
Can we put the subtitles on the screen behind the speaker?
Yes. Use the fullscreen mode with adjustable text size on the machine driving the projector. If the service already goes out through OBS or vMix, the transparent overlay link puts the same captions over your stream.
Which languages does it handle?
Speech is recognized in 60 languages with automatic detection, and can be translated live into the language your visitors need. If the service is always in one language, name it and accuracy improves.
Do we need special equipment?
No. A laptop or tablet with a browser and the microphone you already use in the room. No transmitters, no receivers, no headsets to hand out and collect afterwards.
What happens if the internet drops?
Short outages are survivable. Speecho keeps listening, holds on to what is said while the connection is down and reconnects on its own, so the words spoken during the gap still reach the screen. The offline time is not billed.
Is the service stored anywhere?
The session is saved to your history as a transcript when it ends, so you can export or share it. Audio is not kept unless you turn on "Keep audio" before the service; then the recording sits privately next to the transcript for 90 days and can be deleted at any time. The live link is off by default and only works while you have it on; if you leave it on, the same link shows the finished transcript afterwards - and you can revoke it at any time. For the parts you do not want subtitled - worship songs, a private word - pause the session; the link and the transcript stay in place, and paused time is not billed.
Can the subtitles get our pastor's name and church words right?
Yes. Add them once in Glossary: names (the pastor, the church, biblical names), translations of your church words for each language, such as Holy Communion = Santa Cena, and a line about the service. Every service uses the list until you change it, and it can be edited during a service too.
How much does it cost?
Billed by the second from a pay-as-you-go balance, from $0.83 per hour - the same credits as file transcription. A one-hour service every Sunday comes to roughly $3-4 a month, and nothing is charged in between.
Common pairs for a service
These open the app with the languages already set. Any other combination works the same way.
Everyone follows the same service.
Live subtitles and translation on the screen or on every phone. No hardware, no subscription - billed by the second.
