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.
If you answered yes to these four questions, you are a great candidate for offering live AI translation and captions at your services.
We can tailor a package to meet your weekly schedule and budget.
To use Wordly, you connect your church sound system to a laptop or tablet. You connect that device to the Wordly system via the internet. Set up takes less than 10 minutes each time.
Attendees would either scan a QR code on their phone, or read captions that you can display on monitors inside your church, mosque, or synagogue..
