Live sermon translation for churches
One Message. Every Language.

Built by Gain Advisory in Greenville, NC, for churches across North Carolina and the Southeast.
Paid plans from $50/month · appliance + setup $999
Language shouldn't be a barrier to faith.
Every Sunday, people sit in services they can only partly follow. They are present, but not fully reached. The old fixes (human interpreters, headset kits, printed transcripts) are expensive, slow to arrange, or simply not available. LivingTongues needs only the phone already in someone's pocket.
Scan
A QR code on the screen, in the bulletin, or on a seat-back card. Or just a link.
Pick a language
One tap. No app, no account, no pairing. It works in any phone's browser.
Follow along live
Captions appear as the pastor speaks. One more tap adds translated audio through their own earbuds.
Built for the way churches actually serve.
Nearly real time
From the pastor's lips to translated text on every device in about two seconds, fast enough to feel live.
Text and audio
Read live captions, or tap once to hear the sermon translated in their own headphones.
Your pastor's voice
With voice cloning, listeners hear the translation in the pastor's own voice, not a generic one.
Worship-aware
Translation steps aside during music, so the whole service flows, not just the sermon. Music & worship features are coming soon.
Your church's brand
Your name and logo on the listener screen. LivingTongues stays quietly in the background.
Online viewers too Coming soon
Soon, your livestream audience will be able to follow along in their own language, wherever they watch.
