Live Sermon Translation
Real-time sermon translation,
on every phone in the room.
LivingLogos transcribes your sermon as it’s preached and streams translated captions to each person’s phone in their own language — about two seconds behind the speaker. No app to install, no headsets to hand out, no interpreter booth.
What it is
Everyone hears the message in their language
Live sermon translation means the words a preacher speaks are transcribed and converted into other languages in real time, so people who don’t speak the preacher’s language can follow the whole message — not a summary, and not a printout that goes stale the moment the sermon goes off-script.
LivingLogos delivers that as clean captions on each listener’s own phone. There’s nothing to install, nothing to distribute, and one broadcast serves many languages at once — so a single service can reach your entire multilingual congregation and every first-time visitor.

Questions
Live sermon translation FAQ
What is live sermon translation?
Live sermon translation transcribes a spoken sermon and converts it into other languages in real time, so people who do not speak the preacher’s language can follow along — typically as captions on their own phone — within a couple of seconds.
Does live translation require an app or special hardware?
With LivingLogos, no. The person speaking uses a phone or laptop with a microphone; listeners scan a QR code and read captions in any browser. There is no app to install and no receivers or headsets to hand out.
Which languages does LivingLogos support?
Eight and counting, including English, Spanish, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Portuguese, and French. One broadcast can serve several languages at once.
How accurate is automated sermon translation?
Translation is automated and appears in about two seconds. Accuracy is strong for conversational and expository preaching, and you can improve it further by adding a sermon reference or keyword list so names and theological terms come through correctly. Full transcripts are saved for later review.
How much does live sermon translation cost?
From $29/month, or $5 per translation-hour pay-as-you-go. You only pay for the languages your listeners actually use, and new churches start with 2 free hours.
