Problem
Churches and event organizers serving linguistically diverse audiences struggle to make their services accessible to attendees who don't speak the primary language. Traditional translation approaches—such as volunteer interpreters or paper translations—are limited in language coverage, slow to produce, and fail to scale across multiple language groups attending the same gathering.
Solution
Sunflower AI provides a live captioning and translation platform that works through a simple QR code displayed on screens. Attendees scan the code with any phone and instantly read subtitles or listen to live audio in their heart language across 83 languages. The platform transcribes the entire service—songs, readings, prayers, and sermons—in real time and translates it automatically. Event organizers can upload scripts and run sheets in advance so the AI learns pastor names, theological terms, and church-specific jargon for more accurate transcription and translation. The service runs entirely in a browser, requiring no app installation or technical setup for either the audience or the production team.
Target Audience
Primary customers are churches and Christian organizations with multilingual congregations, as well as conference and hybrid event organizers needing real-time language accessibility. The platform serves both local church ministries and larger Christian conferences seeking to welcome non-English-speaking attendees.
