Getting Started

Welcome to the OmniWord Help Center. OmniWord is a browser-based platform for real-time sermon translation — your media team runs live translation from a web browser, congregants follow captions on their phones, and ProPresenter or OBS can show on-screen subtitles.

What is OmniWord?

OmniWord helps churches deliver live sermon translation to every seat in the room:

• Operator console — capture microphone audio, transcribe speech, and translate in real time
• Congregation viewer — attendees scan a QR code and read live captions on their phones (no app install)
• Screen captions — Web Overlay URLs (ProPresenter / OBS / vMix) or ProPresenter Direct Message tokens
• Sermon history — saved transcripts, exports, and Post-Sermon AI assets (Premium unlimited; other plans get 2 free VIP trials)

OmniWord works entirely in the browser. You need a church PC with microphone access, a stable internet connection, and optionally ProPresenter, OBS, or vMix for on-screen captions. Configure delivery under Account → Settings → Screens & Broadcast (per room).

Create an account

1. Go to app.omniword.com (or your church's OmniWord app URL).
2. Click Create Account and enter your name, church name, email, and password.
3. Optionally set a Broadcast room ID — a stable lowercase key for your first live room. If omitted, one is generated from your church name.
4. New accounts receive $20 in promotional credit (expires in 30 days) to try live translation.

You can also sign in with Google when your administrator has enabled it.
