Bible verses in the captions, in every listener’s language
When the preacher cites a verse, like John 4:14, the reference becomes a link in the captions. Each listener taps it and reads the passage in a Bible in their own language.
- For churches
- When turned on
What the listener sees
Tap the verse. Read it in your Bible.
The verse opens in a sheet over the captions, in the version your church chose for that language, with the speaker’s version under it.
Book names they know
Each Bible shows its own language’s book names: Juan in Spanish, Jean in French.
Read the chapter
From the verse, listeners can open the whole chapter in the Bible reader and keep reading.
What you do as the organiser

The verse opens in their own Bible, with the speaker’s version beside it.

What Bible references won’t do
- 15 spoken languagesVerse links work when the sermon is spoken in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German. Listeners in any language can still open the Bible reader.
- 2A reference, not a quoteA verse read aloud without saying its reference is not linked.
- 3Public-domain BiblesThe versions we carry are public-domain or openly licensed texts. Most modern licensed translations are not available yet.
