Why Shema

Where generic translation breaks.

主爱之道Generic tool: "the Lord's love knows"
Mandarin

A rough mic turns one word into another.

之道 (the way) and 知道 (to know) sound the same. Shema reads the sermon around it before it picks one.

…하지Generic tool: cut short
Korean

The verb arrives last.

Korean holds the verb to the end of the sentence. Shema waits for it instead of guessing the meaning early.

佢哋 / 他們Generic tool: written Chinese only
Cantonese

Cantonese is spoken one way and written another.

Recognition trained on written Chinese misses everyday Cantonese words. We are tuning for how it is actually preached.

It waits for the whole thought.

Preachers pause mid-sentence. A tool that translates at every pause speaks in pieces. Shema listens until the sentence is whole, then speaks it once.

The pastor says

当我们真正认识神的‖时候,‖我们就不再害怕了。

Translating at every pause
  • When we truly know God's
  • Time.
  • We're not afraid anymore.
Shema

When we truly come to know God, we are no longer afraid.

Listening for the end of the thought…
Scripture

It quotes the verse. It doesn't guess it.

约翰福音三章十六节

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son…"

How it works

Nothing changes at the pulpit.

Everything changes in the pews.

Plays through their own phone or your receivers

  1. 01

    The pastor preaches.

    Same microphone, same sermon. No pausing for an interpreter.

  2. 02

    Shema translates.

    Each sentence is recognized, translated and spoken in a natural English voice in about two seconds.

  3. 03

    The congregation listens.

    They scan a QR code and listen on their own phone with earbuds, with captions to read along. No app to install.

Works with the setup you already run.

No new sound system and no hardware to buy. Shema takes the audio you already send out, and the English comes back on whatever your congregation already listens through.

Livestream

Pulls straight from the RTMP feed you already stream.

Line-out

Or a direct feed from the board your team already mixes.

Receivers

English routes to the earpiece packs you already hand out.

Web app

Or a link on their own phone and earbuds. No app store.

It speaks your church's vocabulary.

Add your church's own words once: ministries, hymns, names. Shema uses them every Sunday.

Shema doesn't replace the pastor's voice. It carries it to everyone in the room.

Bring it to your church.

A human interpreter costs $200–500 a Sunday and covers one language. Tell us about your congregation and we'll set up a live demo service in your pastor's language. No cost, no commitment.

  • We tune it to your pastor on a recent sermon recording first.
  • Works with the microphone and sound system you already have.
  • A real person walks your team through the first Sunday.
