How PewTranslate translates a service, step by step

1. Create an account with your email and a password. A first service called "Sunday Service" is created for you, and your balance starts with $20 of free credit.
2. Add your church name in Account → Profile. PewTranslate turns it into the short web address of your church page, for example /grace-community. You can edit it, as long as nobody else uses it.
3. Optionally create more services, for example a youth service or a midweek Bible study, each with its own title. Mark a service as private to hide it from your public church page.
4. Print or project a QR code. Your church page's code opens the list of your public services; each service also has its own code, which can preselect a language. Neither changes when you rename a service, so you print it once.

Whoever runs the sound or the slides usually runs the stream. They open the dashboard, press Translate on the service, and land in the translation console.

• Allow microphone access when the browser asks. Then pick the audio input: the laptop's own microphone, a USB microphone, or a cable from the sound desk into the laptop.
• Choose the language the preacher speaks. The console offers 82 speaker languages and regional variants, plus a mode for services that switch between several languages.
• Press Start Streaming. The console shows a level meter and a live transcript of what the microphone hears, so the operator can see at a glance that speech is being picked up.
• The console also shows how many people are listening. Press Stop Streaming when the sermon ends; listeners' screens switch to OFF AIR.

Only one stream can run per account at a time, and a stream cannot start with an empty balance. If the balance runs out during a service, the stream stops and the operator sees a message.

1. Scan the QR code with the phone camera. The church page opens in the browser and lists the church's public services.
2. Tap the service, then choose a language. The list has 106 options and can be searched by name. The choice is remembered for next week.
3. Press Play. From then on, each sentence appears on screen in the chosen language shortly after the preacher finishes it, and the phone reads it aloud with its built-in voice.

Listeners can change the text size, switch between light and dark appearance, turn the voice off and only read, show the original sentence under each translation, and show or hide timestamps. 2 languages are marked TEXT ONLY because phones generally have no voice for them.

Every stream is saved in History. The report for a service shows:

• Stream duration and billable duration, and the exact cost of the service.
• How many listeners joined, and which languages they chose.
• The full transcript in the original language, with every translation alongside it.
• Downloads as CSV, plain text or a Word document, for sermon notes, a newsletter or a follow-up message.
