Description

This software helps congregations translate live audio and content into multiple languages. Inspired by the challenges of presenting multilingual worship, spf.io has grown to provide AI-based translation and live captioning in a variety of contexts, such as corporate events, live theater, and education.

For worship services, spf.io can generate a text or audio translation of a sermon in real time on an individual’s mobile device. The software can also display translations on a projector screen and caption or subtitle a live stream. With live captioning, spf.io also makes congregations’ worship services and events more accessible to people who are hearing impaired. In addition to translating live in-person and online events, the software can translate documents.
