[01] Why churches choose Voco

Clear for guests. Simple for teams. Built for Sunday.

Simple for guests

People scan a QR code, choose a language, and follow along instantly on the phone already in their pocket.

Built for real church life

Voco is made for volunteers, changing rooms, patchy Wi-Fi, late arrivals, and ordinary Sunday setups.

No awkward cut-offs

A sermon running long or an extra language group showing up should not break the service halfway through.

[02] How it works

How this church translation system works.

This is real-time church translation without the usual setup burden. Start the service, share the QR code, and let people follow the sermon live in their own language.

01

Use the audio you already have

Use the setup you already have. A phone on the lectern works for smaller rooms. A laptop mic works for mid-sized spaces. A sound desk or USB interface gives you the cleanest feed when you have one.

  • Works for home groups, small churches, and full Sunday services
  • USB audio interfaces are supported when you want the best accuracy

  • Separate hardware, earpieces, or expensive per-seat models

With Voco

  • Live captions and translations on any phone
  • Everyone follows the same message together
  • One church link and QR code that works every week
  • Display outputs for OBS, ProPresenter, and in-room screens

[05] Built for your kind of church

Pick the rhythm that sounds like your week.

Voco Starter

One weekly service

For churches starting with one main weekly service and one or two regular language groups.

Clear, simple, and enough to get your first multilingual Sunday working well.

Voco Church

Your normal church week

For churches with one or two Sunday services, the odd midweek, and a need for unlimited languages.

This is the plan most churches will recognise themselves in straight away.

Voco Pro

Busy, growing ministry

For regular midweek meetings, small groups, event weekends, team usage, and more display-heavy setups.

When translation becomes part of the wider ministry rhythm, this is the step up.

[06] From churches like yours

The moment people stop missing the message.

We have a couple of families where English isn't their first language, and we've always just accepted that they probably miss parts of the message. Seeing them follow along in their own language on Sunday was a bit of a lightbulb moment for us.

Mark T.

Church Leader, Bristol

I thought it was going to be another complicated tech thing to manage on a Sunday morning, but it was surprisingly simple. We tested it before the service and had people using Spanish and Polish translations the same morning.

Sarah L.

Operations Manager, Manchester

One of our members usually waits for someone to explain the sermon afterwards. This was the first time they could engage with it as it was happening. It's a small change technically, but a big change pastorally.

Rev. Andrew P.

Church Leader, Cambridge

FAQ

Church translation questions, answered

What is a church translation system?

A church translation system helps people follow the sermon in another language during the service. Traditional systems rely on receivers or interpreters. Voco keeps the workflow browser-based, so attendees scan a QR code and read along on their own phones.

How does church translation work?

The church captures the sermon audio once, starts the live session from the dashboard, and shows a QR code. Attendees open the reader, choose their language, and follow the message in real time.

How much does church translation cost?

Voco starts from £6 per week, which is far lower than typical interpreter and equipment setups. Churches can start small and move up only when their weekly usage genuinely grows.

Do I need special equipment for church translation?

No. You can test with a phone or laptop microphone, and many churches later connect a cleaner feed from the sound desk. Dedicated translation receivers are not required.

[07] Pricing

Three plans. Clear fit. No sales call required.

Choose the rhythm that matches your church now. If usage keeps stretching beyond that rhythm, we'll talk before suggesting a move up.
