Hindi Church Sermon Translation, Live

One fellowship, many South Asian languages

South Asian churches often bring together Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Gujarati and Urdu speakers, with young people who read English best. Hindi preaching with English captions is one option; an English sermon with several South Asian caption languages is another.

• Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali and Urdu can all be preached in
• The Subtitles screen shows up to 5 caption languages together
• Free and Basic include one reading language, Standard includes two and All Languages includes every language. Each language beyond that uses another hour of plan time for every hour of the service.

What Sermon Translate does in Hindi

Hindi works in both directions: a preacher can speak Hindi into the app, and members can read the sermon in Hindi.

• The 66 Bible book names are built in for Hindi, taken from a published Hindi Bible, so a spoken book name comes out the way that Bible writes it. Other church vocabulary is general translation guided by church context, and your church glossary fixes the terms that matter to you.
• Verse popups cannot show the passage in Hindi yet, because the Bible editions connected today cover only English, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German and Filipino / Tagalog.

Bible book names in Hindi

The 66 book names come from the Hindi Old Version, so a spoken book name is written the way that Bible writes it. Doctrinal terms and church titles are general translation, so add the Hindi wording your church uses to the church glossary.

Hinglish and code switching

Preachers who switch often between Hindi and English in one sentence are harder to caption, because the app listens for the speaker language you choose. Test your preacher's style with the free monthly hour.

How a church sets up Hindi captions for a service

One laptop, tablet or phone near the pulpit does the work. Give it clean sound from the sound desk or a microphone close to the preacher, sign in, choose the language being preached and Hindi as a reading language, and start. The room reads the captions on the projector through the Subtitles screen, online viewers see them in the livestream through the OBS overlay, and members who prefer their own phone scan a QR code with QR Code Join, included in every plan, and read with no account.

• Before the service: add names, ministries and church terms to the glossary, and choose a Bible version for verse popups
• During the service: keep the device on power and online; captions follow the preaching sentence by sentence
• After the service: the transcript is saved to the account, and the Standard plan turns it into AI sermon notes

Can the app handle a sermon that mixes Hindi and English?

It listens for the one speaker language you choose, so frequent switching lowers accuracy. Try it with your own preacher first.

Which Hindi Bible do the book names follow?

The Hindi Old Version.

Can a verse popup show the Hindi Bible text?

Not yet. The Bible editions connected to verse popups today cover English, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Farsi / Persian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German and Filipino / Tagalog.

What does it cost to show Hindi captions every Sunday?

Every account gets 1 free hour every month of live translation, enough to test a full service. Basic is $19.99 a month for 12 hours and Standard is $34 a month for 30 hours. Free and Basic include one reading language, Standard includes two and All Languages includes every language. Each language beyond that uses another hour of plan time for every hour of the service.

Can an English sermon be translated into Hindi live?

Yes. Choose English, or the language your pastor preaches in, as the speaker language and Hindi as the reading language. Hindi can also be preached into the app, so a Hindi sermon can be read in English or another language.
