Translate your Holyrics slides for every viewer
Lyrics and scripture on your screens appear in each viewer’s captions, in their language, as easy-to-read cards. The person running the slides changes nothing.
What flows where
Two paths: the words people say, and the words on screen.
- SlidesHolyricsIts network setting is on, so the current slide’s text can be read.
- Operator ConsoleThe Slides tab of your sessionOpen on the computer that runs Holyrics, in Chrome or Edge.
- TranslateInterScribeWaits until a slide has stayed on screen for the settle time, 2 s by default, then translates it once.
- ViewersEvery phoneThe slide appears in the captions in each viewer’s language. Viewers can always see the original.
The sermon audio takes its own path, from your sound desk. Getting good audio
- Software
- API Server (Local) turned on, and a token that allows GetCurrentPresentation
- Browser
- Chrome or Edge, on the computer that sends the slides
- Where
- The Operator Console on the presentation computer, or a Slides station on its network
- Plan
- Translated slides are in Beta and not part of any plan yet
Set it up
4 steps, once. Then slides go out by themselves whenever you are live.
Open File › Settings › API Server in Holyrics and turn on Local. The port is 8091 unless you changed it. On Apple-silicon Macs, Holyrics needs Rosetta.
Under Manage permissions, create a token, allow GetCurrentPresentation for it and copy the token. Holyrics asks you to approve it the first time.
Open your session, then the Slides tab, press Choose source › Use this computer, pick Holyrics and enter localhost (or the presentation computer's address), port 8091 and the token. The token stays in this browser: InterScribe's servers never receive it.
Press Connect and send slides and allow access to devices on the local network when Chrome or Edge asks. The slide on screen goes to your audience. Bible verses are sent as their reference (for example Jn 3:16), because Holyrics does not share the verse text.
While you are live
- Wait before sending
2 s by default. Raise it if the person running slides clicks through verses quickly.
- Send slide pictures
Also send the slide picture, for announcements with graphics.
- Pause this computer
Stop sending during a video or a private moment, without leaving the live session.
- Clear slide
Remove the last card from viewers’ phones, for example after the final song.
Troubleshooting
If something says this, do that.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Can't reach Holyrics. Check the address and port, that API Server (Local) is on in Holyrics (Settings › API Server), and that you are using Chrome or Edge. If asked, allow access to devices on the local network | Open Holyrics, turn its network setting on as in step 1, and check the address and port you typed. Use Chrome or Edge. |
| Connecting to Holyrics… | If this stays on screen, the two computers may be on different networks, such as guest Wi-Fi and the AV network. Put both on the same one. |
| Viewers see a slide a moment late | That is the wait time at work. Lower Wait before sending if your slides stay up long enough. |
