Most religious organizations have members whose native language is different from the language spoken at their weekly services. Some parishes have tried providing human interpreters to address this issue, but that solution is too expensive and complicated for most organizations to implement.
Wordly solved this problem with our AI real-time translation solution. Now you can address the multilingual challenge for church services or any other events where attendees speak multiple native languages.
Expand Your Reach - Many congregations have a global audience. Wordly enables churches to expand their community by allowing both speakers and attendees to participate in their preferred language. This makes attending your services more accessible for everyone.

There are three primary options for addressing the language barrier at church services.
1. Do Nothing
The most common solution is to do nothing. While this is the cheapest and least time consuming option in the short term, there are significant long term costs when members are unable to understand services and do not attend or fully engage.
2. Use Human Translators
Human translators have been used for years and are a common option for religious meetings and events around the world. Human interpretation is a good option for large, complex events which are planned months in advance and supported by large budgets and teams to coordinate all of the logistics. But the time and cost of offering human interpretation often makes this option not viable for most religious organizations.
3. Use Live AI Translation and Captioning
A fast-growing option is AI translation. These tech solutions are powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and hosted in a secure cloud infrastructure, removing the need for human interpreters and special equipment. AI translation is being implemented across houses of worship for a wide range of meetings.

Example of in-person setup. Contact us to see the setup for a virtual event.
Step 1
The audio mixer from the church is connected to a tablet or laptop which is used to log into the AI translation and captioning system. This helps ensure the AI system receives high quality sound input.
Step 2
The presenter(s) speak in their preferred languages during church services and meetings. The AI-powered church translation system can manage participants speaking in multiple languages.
Step 3
Wordly uses AI to transcribe and translate the spoken content into the preferred languages for each participant. The platform translates speech simultaneously into dozens of languages and the output is available in real time. Wordly understands different dialects and accents, so you can feel confident the translation and captions will be very accurate.
Step 4
Attendees can read along with captions or listen with their ear buds in their preferred language on their own computer or mobile device. Attendees access the translation and captions by scanning a QR code with their phone or visiting a URL from their computer.
Attendees can be either in person or attend virtually via Zoom, Teams, or another meeting platform. The captions can also be displayed in multiple languages on monitors positioned around the room so presenters and attendees can see them.
