Advanced Settings

Open ADVANCED on the Live top bar to fine-tune speech recognition. This modal covers room environment and speaker pace only — it does not include overlay URLs (those are under Account → Settings → Screens & Broadcast) or congregation QR (Live top bar).

OmniWord Advanced settings modal — room environment and speaker pace

Screenshot: ADVANCED on Live — tune VAD for your room and match speaker pace before Start translation.

Recording lock

Room environment and speaker pace cannot be changed while recording. Stop translation first, adjust settings, then start again.

Room environment

Choose how much background noise is present in your space:

PresetWhen to use
QuietSmall room, good mic, little background noise
NormalTypical sanctuary, 50–300 seats
NoisyApplause, HVAC, or crowd noise present

These presets adjust Voice Activity Detection (VAD) thresholds for cleaner speech segmentation.

Speaker pace

Match the preset to today's preacher. The same Fast / Normal / Slow silence wait applies to both Sermon and MC & Intro:

PaceDescription

Effective silence wait is shown in milliseconds. Changes apply on the next Start translation.
