OneAccord - Live AI Church Translation (40+ languages)
OneAccord is a live AI church translation platform designed to remove language barriers and create an inclusive worship experience. It provides real-time captions and translations in over 40 languages that can be accessed directly from a browser on congregants’ mobile devices. The system is designed for churches, offering church-specific terminology models, real-time text and audio translations, and moderation to ensure high accuracy.
How it works
- The host logs into the application and connects the church’s audio feed (from the sound mixer) to a device (e.g., laptop).
- The live audio is streamed to OneAccord’s servers and translated into the requested languages.
- Congregants browse to a branded URL (e.g., translate.mychurch.com) on their mobile devices, select a language, and access both real-time written translations and audio translations.
