A note for your church leadership
Someone in your church is only catching half of Sunday.
They come every week. They smile, they shake hands, they stay for coffee. And they go home having understood about a third of what was said.
The situation
A quiet compromise most churches never chose.
Most churches with more than one language in the room have quietly accepted a compromise. Either someone whispers a translation at the back, which works for one person and exhausts them. Or there is no translation, and a part of the congregation follows what they can.
Neither is anyone's fault. Proper translation equipment has always cost thousands, needed hardware, and needed someone to run it.
That is what has changed.
What a Sunday looks like
Press start. They scan. That is it.
Before the service, one person opens Voco on a laptop or a phone and presses start. That is the whole job.
- 01
Press start
One person opens Voco on a laptop or phone. Nothing changes on stage.
- 02
They scan the code
Anyone who needs translation points their phone at the QR code and picks a language. No app, account or equipment handout.
- 03
They follow with everyone else
They read the sermon on their phone or listen through their own headphones, at the same time as everyone else.
If you want translated captions on the big screen as well, Voco can put them there too.
What it asks of the church
Nothing new to manage. Nothing changes on stage.
It does not need a new volunteer. Whoever already runs the sound desk or the slides can start it. It is one button.
It does not need new equipment. If you have a sound desk, it takes audio from there. If you do not, a phone near the speaker works.
It does not change the service. Nobody has to speak slowly or hold anything.
It does not need everyone to use it. The people who need it use it. Everyone else will not notice.
What it costs
Small enough for a normal church to say yes.
From £6 a week. That is £24 a month. Paying annually brings it under £240.
For most churches that is less than the coffee budget.

What if it goes wrong
The honest answer matters more than a reassuring one.
What Voco does
What Voco does not pretend
It is very good at helping people follow an ordinary Sunday sermon.
Machine translation is not a substitute for a skilled human interpreter where every word must be exact.
If church Wi-Fi drops, people reconnect and catch up on what they missed.
Like every live online service, it still depends on a working internet connection.
If something breaks, email Josh, the person who built and runs Voco.
There is no anonymous enterprise support maze or equipment engineer required.
Why this exists
Built around a real church, not a software category.
I have spent about twenty years designing for churches. I built Voco with my in-laws' church in Mexico in mind, because I kept watching people sit through a service they could only partly follow, and the tools that would have fixed it cost more than the church could ever justify.
So the whole thing is built around two ideas. That it should feel genuinely good to use. And that it should cost little enough that a normal church can just say yes.
The ask
One service. Seven days. No card.
Pick a Sunday, run it once, and see whether anyone says anything afterwards. That is the only test that matters.
