The guide
For the one who reads everything before saying yes: how it works and is set up, what it is for, what it does not do, how it compares with the alternatives, the questions churches ask, and the price.
How it works
Open OCvoice on the church’s computer and select audio from the mixer or a microphone.
Set up the church’s languages and names. Your permanent link and QR code make the service easy to find.
Listeners choose their language on their phone. Your technician can also route translated audio to existing receivers.
The craft
Og så mindede han os om løftet: “I am with you always” — helt til verdens ende.
DanishEnglishDanish
Illustration of the behaviour, not recorded output.
Danish sermons drift into English all the time: a quote, a song line, a verse. The spoken language is detected as it changes, so no one has to switch anything.
When the band plays, translation can rest and pick up again at the first spoken word. You choose how it behaves.
Setup
Create an account, choose the languages you want to offer and enter the names that must never be translated.
Open the broadcast page in a browser on the church computer. It takes the sound from your sound desk or a microphone.
Listeners open your church's own address, ocvoice.dk/your-church, choose a language and listen.
What it is for
Plainly said
Honesty cuts both ways. We would rather tell you now than after you've signed up:
Compared with the alternatives
There are four real ways to bring every language into your service. Here is what each one is good at, what it costs — and where we are not the right choice.
The gold standard for a single, large language community — a person who knows your church, your theology and your people.
Transmitter-and-receiver systems, familiar from conference halls — reliable, and gentle on members who don't use smartphones.
Already own FM receivers? They keep working with OCvoice — your technician feeds our translated audio straight into the transmitter.
Free phone apps built for conversations and travel. Tempting price — but not built for a sermon.
Services built specifically for worship — OCvoice is one, and honest comparison shopping is healthy. Compare on the things that actually differ:
Take this list into every sales conversation. We've answered each one for ourselves, honestly.
Are your church's names kept intact in every language?
Ours: enter the names of your church, pastors and town to help the translation recognise and preserve them.
What happens during worship music?
Ours: song is detected automatically, and you choose whether translation rests or continues.
What happens when the preacher switches language mid-sentence?
Ours: the spoken language is detected as it changes, including English inside a Danish sentence.
Does it work with the FM receivers and headsets we already own?
Ours: yes — your technician routes the translated feed into your existing equipment.
What does a normal month actually cost, all fees included?
Ours: pay per hour of use, no subscription. The calculator on the pricing page shows the full math for your church.
Do listeners need an app or an account?
Ours: no. Scan a QR code, pick a language, listen.
Where does our data go, and is it GDPR-compliant?
Ours: Danish company, database in the EU, session data deleted within 12 months of the service, with the purpose stated, no listener accounts. Details in the privacy policy.
Can we hear a real, unedited demo before deciding?
Ours: yes. The front-page demo is an unedited recording, mistakes included.
Compare us against anyone
Start with the real demo on the front page, then check the pricing calculator. If another option serves your church better, we genuinely wish you well.
Privacy
Listeners need no account and give us no name or email. The service audio, transcripts and translations are kept for up to 12 months after the service, for quality assurance, improvement and traceability, and then deleted. The database is in the EU; the services that recognise and translate the speech, some of them in the USA, are named in the policy.
Read the privacy policyQuestions and answers
A browser on the church's computer listens to the service, recognises the speech as it is spoken and translates it into the languages your listeners choose. Listeners scan a QR code and get subtitles and a natural voice on their own phone, shortly behind the speaker. No app is needed.
OCvoice supports 60 languages, including Arabic, Farsi, Ukrainian, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Turkish, and many more. This includes right-to-left languages like Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, and Urdu with proper RTL layout.
No. OCvoice works as a mobile website. Congregants scan a QR code or visit your church's address (e.g. ocvoice.dk/your-church), pick their language and start listening. It runs in the browser on iPhone and Android phones, tablets and computers.
Good, but not perfect, and we won't put an invented percentage on it. Quality depends on the sound, the speaker's pace and the language. The names you enter for your church, pastors and town help the translation recognise and preserve them. OCvoice is not a human interpreter and will occasionally mishear a word. Hear the unedited demo on the front page and judge for yourself.
Pay for actual active translation time, including audio feeds you activate. Speech recognition, subtitles and audio are included. Selecting languages alone costs nothing.
Yes, or keep it. Listeners can use their own phones and headphones, so there are no receivers to buy or maintain, and they get subtitles as well as audio. If you want to keep your FM or wired headphone system, your technician can feed any translated language into it.
Yes. Listeners can use any Bluetooth headphones, wired earbuds, or just their phone speaker. The audio plays directly from the browser — no app needed.
Yes. OCvoice is built by OCplan ApS, a Danish company subject to the EU GDPR. Our database is hosted in Ireland (EU). Transcripts, translations and audio are kept for up to 12 months after the service, for quality assurance, improving the service and traceability, and then deleted; the privacy policy explains this along with your right to object. For processing we use a small number of specialist providers, all under GDPR data processing agreements, and the privacy policy lists each one. Listeners need no account and provide no name or email.
OCvoice requires an internet connection to process speech and translations in real time. If connectivity is briefly interrupted, the system reconnects automatically when the connection is restored. We recommend a stable Wi-Fi or wired connection for the broadcaster device.
Yes. Each listener picks their own language, and a church can offer many languages in the same service. You pay per hour for each language you run.
OCvoice is built for churches and worship services. If you want to use it for a conference or another event, contact us and we'll tell you honestly whether it fits.
Create an account at ocvoice.dk. A guided setup takes you through your account, your church profile and your default languages, and then you can start your first session.
Pay for actual active translation time, including audio feeds you activate. Speech recognition, subtitles and audio are included. Selecting languages alone costs nothing.
Yes — and we recommend it for regulars. On the phone where they opened your church link, they can add it to the home screen: on iPhone tap Share, then "Add to Home Screen"; on Android tap the ⋮ menu, then "Add to Home screen". The saved icon is named after your church and reopens your page in a single tap — no QR code and no typing. From there it's the usual one tap to pick a language and join the live service.
