Problem
Churches and ministries often have multilingual congregations, but traditional translation relies on separate interpreters, bulky equipment, or delayed subtitles, limiting real‑time accessibility and engagement for non‑English speakers.
Solution
Exbabel offers a cloud‑based platform that delivers live audio, video, and caption translation for worship services in real time. Using AI‑driven speech recognition and neural machine translation, the system streams sub‑second translations into over 90 spoken languages and more than 250 caption languages. A built‑in ministry phrase bank of 8,000+ terms and a profanity filter ensure translations remain contextually accurate and worship‑appropriate. Voice cloning reproduces the pastor’s voice in each target language, preserving the sermon’s tone and authority. All content is encrypted and delivered via a web dashboard, allowing congregants to follow the service in their preferred language without additional hardware or staff.
Target Audience
Primary customers are churches, ministries, and faith‑based organizations that conduct live or streamed services and need multilingual accessibility for congregants and online viewers.
