Live Translation Smart Glasses for Church Interpreters

What the $199 covers, and what it does not

A one-time payment of $199 unlocks Interpreter Mode on Even Realities G2 glasses. There is no monthly add-on for it. Once it is unlocked you can start interpreting straight away. Read these four terms first, because they are the whole offer.

• $199 once unlocks Interpreter Mode on G2 glasses, with no monthly Interpreter add-on.
• Translation hours still come from a paid Sermon Translate plan, so you need a plan as well.
• The glasses are not included. Even Realities sells the G2 separately.
• You get one free hour to try Interpreter Mode before you decide, and the demo is free with no account.

A real-time interpreter display on Even Realities G2

Interpreting out loud is hard because you must hear a whole thought, find the words in the other language and say them with confidence, while the preacher is already on to the next point. Interpreter Mode listens with you and puts the meaning in front of you. On the G2 it sits in your line of sight, so your eyes stay on the congregation.

• The speaker's own words appear word by word on the top line as they are heard, so you can check what you caught.
• Your translation sits right under it: source language on top, the language you say aloud below.
• When the speaker pauses, the whole passage appears at once instead of word by word, because you need the complete thought before you speak.
• A Bible verse the speaker names is shown at the top of the glasses, with the chapter open beside it on the phone.

Move through the sermon from the glasses

You do not have to reach for your phone to keep your place. The glasses send your taps back to the Interpreter page, and the same three actions are big buttons on the phone screen if you prefer them.

• Tap on the temple or the ring: the next page of a long passage, or the next line.
• Swipe up: go back.
• Press and hold: jump to the newest line, which is how you catch up after a pause.
• Double tap: open the exit dialog.

Choose where the sound comes from

The phone or laptop does the listening and the translating, and the glasses only draw the words, so they stay light. By default Interpreter Mode listens with the phone's microphone. If you stand close to the speaker you can choose the glasses microphone instead. Even Realities describes the G2 as weighing 36 grams, with built-in microphones and no camera.

Sermon interpretation glasses for churches and events

Interpreter Mode is built first for the church member who stands beside the pastor and interprets out loud: a deacon, a youth leader, a bilingual volunteer. It works the same way for anyone interpreting aloud at a conference, a wedding, a training day or a ministry meeting, one passage at a time. It supports the interpreter and does not replace their judgment. Names, rare terms and sung lyrics can still come out wrong, so keep your own ears on the speaker.

What you need to start

You need a pair of G2 glasses from Even Realities, the Even Realities app on your phone, and the Sermon Interpreter app from Even Hub, the glasses' own app store. You join your session by scanning the QR code on the Interpreter page or typing its short code. The G2 app is in early access, so if you want to use it on a particular Sunday, contact us first and we will help you set it up. The glasses draw text in one fixed font, so a script that font cannot draw may not show; try your language in the demo before you buy.

How this differs from other things the G2 can do

Even Realities builds its own features into the G2, such as translation and a teleprompter. Sermon Translate is made for one job: the person who speaks the translation out loud next to a preacher. It follows the sermon, holds the whole passage until the speaker pauses, opens the Bible verse the speaker names, and saves the session to your history when you press Stop.

Do I still need a Sermon Translate plan to use Interpreter Mode on G2?

Yes. The $199 unlock covers Interpreter Mode on the glasses, but the translation hours come from a paid Sermon Translate plan, so you need one as well.

Are the G2 glasses included?

No. Even Realities sells the G2 glasses separately. This page is about the Sermon Translate side only.

Is the $199 a subscription?

No. It is paid once and unlocks Interpreter Mode on G2 glasses with no monthly add-on for it. Your plan is billed on its own, as it is today.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. You get one free hour to try Interpreter Mode, and the Interpreter demo is free and needs no account. The demo plays a recorded Mandarin sermon so you can see how the English reads.

Which languages does it work in?

Interpreter Mode uses the same speech recognition as Sermon Translate live translation, so the common church pairs work, such as Chinese and English, Korean and English, and Spanish and English. Chinese can be shown in Traditional or Simplified characters. Because the glasses use one fixed font, test your language in the demo first.

Does the interpreter still speak?

Yes. Nothing speaks for you. The glasses show you what the speaker said and the passage to say, and you say it out loud to the room.

What if I lose my place?

Swipe up to go back, or press and hold to jump to the newest line. The same buttons are on the phone screen, and the Bible panel has a Next verse button for readings.

Can I use it on a phone or tablet instead of glasses?

Yes. The same reading view runs on a phone, tablet or laptop, and the demo is free. Glasses are optional; they keep your eyes up and your hands free.
