Live Sermon Translation App for Spanish-Speaking Members
Sermon Translate turns the English sermon into Spanish captions while the pastor preaches, on the members' own phones or on a screen. An English-speaking church can welcome Spanish-speaking families into the same service instead of starting a second one.
When Spanish speakers are a few rows, not a whole congregation
Many English-speaking churches have a handful of Spanish-speaking families: a spouse, grandparents, new neighbors. They are too few for a Spanish service and too many to ignore. Spanish captions let them sit with everyone else and understand the same sermon.
- Captions on their own phones, so the main screen stays in English
- QR Code Join ($10 a month): scan a code, read in the browser, no account and no app
- Or a small TV or second screen near their seats with the Subtitles screen
What Sermon Translate does in Spanish
Spanish works in both directions: a preacher can speak Spanish into the app, and members can read the sermon in Spanish.
- Bible book names, church titles and doctrinal terms are built in for Spanish.
- Verse popups can show the passage in Spanish, from a Bible edition in that language.
Spanish Bible verses when the pastor cites Scripture
When the pastor clearly names a passage or quotes a known verse, the popup can show it in Reina-Valera 1960, Nueva Versión Internacional, Nueva Traducción Viviente or La Biblia de las Américas, whichever your church picks.
Beyond Sunday morning
The same church can use Conversation Mode when the pastor visits a Spanish-speaking family: one phone, two languages, each half of the screen showing the other person's words translated. It is text, not a voice, so it suits a kitchen table better than a phone call.
Do Spanish speakers need to download an app?
No. It runs in the phone's browser. Each reader needs an account after the free trial, unless the church adds QR Code Join ($10 a month).
Can the main screen stay in English?
Yes. Readers can follow on their own phones, so nothing changes on the main screen.
What does it cost?
A free 3-hour trial with no credit card, then plans from $19.99 a month.
