How it works

Sermon Relay runs on a laptop during the service. The preacher’s voice comes from the church sound system into the app. Guests hear the translation on wireless earpieces, or on their phones by scanning a QR code.

What you need

  • A computer with Wi‑Fi and a normal web browser. We use a MacBook Pro.
  • A feed of the spoken sermon from your church sound board.
  • An in/out USB audio adapter to connect the sound board to the laptop.
  • For phone listening: guest phones on church Wi‑Fi (or cellular) and a QR code or join link from the booth.

What we use (RF path)

From the pulpit to the guest

  1. Church mics pick up the preacher
  2. Sound board sends that voice to the laptop
  3. Sermon Relay translates in the browser
  4. Guests hear it on wireless earpieces or their phones

Tips for the operator

  • Turn off notifications on the laptop (Do Not Disturb / Focus, messages, calendar alerts). Pop-ups and chimes can interrupt the service.
  • Use that laptop only for translation during the service, not for slides, streaming, or other jobs at the same time.
  • Ask for a clean speech feed from the sound person. The app may have difficulty understanding speech with background music, more so with singing.
  • Have the sound person set sensible level on the board. If it’s too loud, there may be distortion and the app may have difficulty understanding speech.
  • Set volume on the laptop and the receivers. Guests can turn their own earpiece up or down. The app has no separate volume control for the outgoing sound.
  • Before the service: plug in the audio adapter · allow the microphone in the browser · choose the USB audio device · watch the meter · try a short test.
  1. Translation hours round up to the nearest minute.
  2. Phone listening includes free concurrent seats and free phone-listener hours with your plan (shown on each card). Metered usage is opt-in: $0.50 per billable phone-listener hour after the free allowance, with a spend cap you set. At the cap, new phone joins pause — guests already listening keep audio. RF receivers and line-out stay unlimited and off the phone meter.
  3. Extra translation hours are opt-in (metered usage). When enabled, hours past your plan’s included amount bill at this rate on the next invoice. With metered usage off, translation stays within the included hours.
  4. Payments via secure checkout; we never store full card numbers.
