Real-Time Amharic Church Translation

Voco enables live Amharic church translation for churches serving Ethiopian families, students, and diaspora communities. Congregants scan a QR code and read the sermon in Amharic on their own phone.

Why it matters

Amharic-speaking believers should not have to miss the message just because the room is English-speaking.

Amharic is one of the most pastorally important diaspora languages for many churches in the UK and North America. Churches often want to serve Amharic-speaking guests well, but cannot staff full in-person interpretation every week. Voco provides a simpler route.

Where churches use it

Churches welcoming Ethiopian families into English-language services.

Congregations with a small but consistent Amharic-speaking group.

Ministries that need a dignified alternative to whispered translation.

How it works

Amharic translation without headset distribution or booth setup.

Voco is especially useful where the language need is real but the weekly logistics must stay simple. The same QR code workflow works for Amharic as for every other supported language, which makes it easier to keep translation sustainable long term.
