Real-Time Mandarin Church Translation

Voco gives churches a straightforward way to offer live Mandarin church translation. People scan one QR code, choose Mandarin, and follow the sermon in real time on any phone.

Why it matters

Mandarin-speaking students and families should be able to follow the sermon without borrowing someone else's English.

Many city churches and student ministries serve Mandarin-speaking communities, whether through university outreach, diaspora families, or international fellowships. Live Mandarin church translation helps people stay with the message as it happens, rather than waiting for a summary afterwards.

Where churches use it

University city churches serving Chinese international students.

Mixed-language congregations with Mandarin-speaking parents or grandparents.

Conference weekends or guest services where Mandarin support would otherwise require separate staffing.

How it works

Mandarin support that fits a normal Sunday team.

Voco is built to reduce the volunteer and technical burden. Churches do not need to source dedicated receivers or maintain an interpretation booth. They just need a reliable audio source, a browser, and the QR code on screen.
