Free to try · Offline-first · Nothing leaves the building

New: screens, layouts, order of service, camera

Scripture on screen as it is read.

No more racing to type the reference while the pastor is already reading. WCM listens to the sermon and suggests the scripture, word study, sermon point or song as it is spoken. Your operator confirms with one tap, and nothing projects by itself. Songs, announcements, captions and recording live in the same app.

New in WCM 1.2.35

Not just slides. The whole service, on every screen.

More screens, your own layouts, a planned order of service, the camera with the words, and your church's life on screen.

Every picture below is a real screen from WCM, taken during testing.

01 · More than one screen

Every screen gets its own job.

Plug in a TV for the pastor, a feed for your livestream and a screen in the lobby. In Settings › Screens, give each one a job:

  • Projector: what the congregation sees.
  • Stage: a TV for the pastor with the current verse or song words in big letters, what's next, the countdown, your private messages, a clock and the sermon points.
  • Livestream: a clean picture for OBS or vMix, with the words in a strip along the bottom over your camera, a plain colour or a green background.
  • Lobby / overflow: a copy of the projector for another room, or only the Bible verses.

Not sure which screen is which? Identify screens puts a big number on each one.

Four screens from one WCM computer: the projector, the stage screen with clock and next verse, the livestream with the verse in a strip over green, and the lobby screen
Projector, stage, livestream and lobby, all from one computer

02 · The stage screen

The pastor sees what's on now, and what's next.

No more turning round to read the projector. The stage screen shows the verse in big letters, the next one underneath, the time and the countdown. Messages you send from the booth appear there too, and the Stage screen can have its own colours.

The stage screen: the time, John 3:16-17 in large letters, and the next verse, John 3:18, below
Stage screen: now and next

03 · Layout and slide editor

Put the words exactly where you want them.

  1. Click the pencil on Live Output.
  2. Drag and resize the Bible verse, its reference, song words, announcements and the other slides.
  3. Press Apply. Nothing changes on screen until you do.

Save layouts with a name ("Sunday", "Youth"), use one for the projector and another for the livestream. Shows › Move text does the same for any slide in a show.

04 · Order of service

Plan the service before Sunday. Run it with one key.

Plan in WCM (the Plan button) or on the church dashboard (Plan tab); both show the same plan. Each item says who leads it and roughly how long it takes. Start from a ready-made Sunday, Midweek or Special service, or from your own template.

  1. On the day, WCM asks Today's plan: Load it?
  2. The Service panel shows what is happening now and what is next.
  3. Press Next (or F8) to move on.

Attach the pastor's sermon from WCM Study Bible to the Sermon item. Print any plan as a programme (PDF) or save it as a picture for WhatsApp.

05 · Camera with the words

People watching online see the preacher and the verse.

On the Livestream screen, choose the camera full screen with the words along the bottom, or the words full screen with the camera in a corner box: small, medium or large, round or a rounded square.

  • Recordings can include the camera too: Settings › Record Service › Camera in the recording.
  • The camera button next to Record takes the camera off and puts it back in one tap.
  • If the camera is unplugged, the stream and recording carry on. The projector in the room never shows the camera.

06 · Church Life on screen

Testimonies, visitors and the rota, in the booth.

  • Testimonies approved on the church dashboard arrive in the Queue and show on their own testimony slide.
  • A "Welcome visitors" slide or scroll shows the first names you tick.
  • The running order shows who is on duty, with anyone who can't make it marked in red.

Listening Assistant

Pause it your way

The Pause button opens a menu: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, a custom time, until WCM restarts, or until you turn it back on. The Assistant pill counts down, and WCM asks a minute before the end whether to keep it paused.

Recording

Record the service

Press Record to capture the service with its sound in full 1920 x 1080, in Standard or High quality. Choose what goes in: the projector, the camera in a corner, or the camera with the words along the bottom. Trim the start or end right in WCM.

Follow along

The service on every phone

Members scan the QR code and each scripture you show opens in their own Bible, with the sermon point and captions. Every service then stays on your church page, with your announcements.

How members join

On the free trial you can try the projector plus one more screen, the Default layout, two saved plans and the camera. A church licence unlocks every screen, named layouts, unlimited plans and the camera everywhere. When a trial ends nothing is deleted.

How it listens

The booth stays in control. The listening just removes the typing.

A small companion process built into WCM transcribes the service speech-to-text on the same computer running the projection — no cloud API, no audio ever leaving the building. It watches for the patterns your service actually has: a spoken verse, a phrase like “the Greek word here is…”, a transition to the next point in a pre-loaded outline. When it catches one, it hands the operator a suggestion card with a preview of the actual text, not a fait accompli — nothing projects until someone confirms it.

01

Confirm, don't guess

Every detection is a suggestion first, shown with the real scripture text alongside it. The operator taps once to project it, or ignores it and keeps going — the service is never at the mercy of a mis-heard word.

02

Tuned to stay quiet

Detection is deliberately conservative — tuned against real false positives, not just a clean demo, so it stays quiet rather than interrupting the service with a wrong guess. If a specific book keeps getting missed because of how your own pastor says it, teach the listener that exact wording right in Settings — no update to wait on.

03

Genuinely offline

Speech recognition, translation, and word-study lookups all run as local models on the booth computer, bundled with the install. A dropped internet connection mid-service changes nothing.

04

Voice-aware by choice

Optionally enroll the pastor's voice (or any speaker's) so detection only responds to them — background chatter, a live mic left open, or someone else entirely never triggers a suggestion. Off by default; every voice is heard until you turn it on.

See it in action

What actually lands on the screen.

Real captures from a running instance — no mockups, no staged screenshots. This is what the congregation sees the moment a reference, a word study, or a sermon point gets confirmed.

What's inside

A full presentation tool, with a listening layer on top.

Shows, scripture, songs, looping backgrounds, and announcements work exactly like any projection software. The AI layer is additive — turn on only what a given service needs.

Free trial
Detected live

Scripture Detection

A spoken or read reference gets matched and staged for projection automatically — exact references, paraphrased quotes, and near-matches all catch, matched against a semantic index built from eleven translations' worth of real phrasing. KJV, World English Bible, and Berean Standard Bible come bundled; import any other translation your church already has a license for.

Scripture, deeper

Download, Compare & Pair Translations

Grab additional Bible translations right from the app — no hunting for files to import. Compare translations side-by-side before deciding what to project (private to you, never shown to the congregation), or pair two together for a bilingual service, live. Real cross-references let you jump from any verse to related ones in one click.

Language study

Word Study, Detected or Searched

Catches a pastor explaining an original-language word and projects the Greek or Hebrew term automatically — or type an English word yourself any time and search the same real lexicon by hand, no waiting for it to come up in the sermon.

Worship

Song Library

Build your own song library, search it by title or lyric, tag verses and choruses, and display any song instantly. Already have hundreds of songs in another program? Bulk-import them from OpenLyrics, OpenSong, SongBeamer, and more. Musician-only chord charts sit alongside the lyrics — never shown to the congregation, with their own print view for rehearsal.

Accessibility

Live Captions & Translation

A rolling caption feed on the output screen, with an optional live-translated line running alongside it. Includes dyslexia- and low-vision-friendly caption fonts (OpenDyslexic, Lexend, Atkinson Hyperlegible) — most presentation software doesn't caption at all, let alone with a reader's own needs in mind.

Operator console

Now Speaking Your Language

The booth console itself speaks your language — full Spanish support today, menus and the built-in guide included, not just captions. French, Portuguese, and Korean are also available as console languages, with deeper coverage rolling out release by release. Pick a language on first launch, or anytime in Settings.

Hands-free

Voice Navigation

Spoken commands step through slides, jump to a specific verse, or switch translations without anyone touching the keyboard.

Sermon flow

Sermon Points

Pre-load a sermon outline and each point gets projected automatically as the pastor actually reaches it in the message.

Look & feel

Custom Backgrounds

Set a color, gradient, image, looping video, or a live camera feed behind scripture, songs, or any show — no more flat default slides. Fit, scale, blur, and a color overlay are all adjustable per background, and an oversized video is optimized automatically on import so it stays smooth even on a modest booth PC. Text gets the same control, per show — color, bold, italic, shadow, and outline, not locked to one default look.

Booth controls

Recording, NDI & Display

Record the full output with audio on demand, choose Standard or High quality to fit your storage, and trim the start or end right from the app afterward — no separate editor needed. Broadcast it live as an NDI source for OBS or vMix, blank the projector at a keystroke without touching a cable, or start an on-screen countdown for a service about to begin or an offering pause. The console itself ships in three skins — Indigo, Midnight, Slate — so whoever's running the booth can pick what's comfortable to look at for two hours.

Multiple locations

Multi-Campus Sync

Keep a second campus's screen in step with the main one — scripture, songs, and announcements mirror over the internet in real time, so a satellite location's own install shows exactly what's live at the main campus, without a second operator running it there.

Phones in the service

Speaker & Assistant

Pair phones to WCM and give each one a role: a Speaker device in WCM Study Bible that shows the preacher what is live, with the stage timer and messages from the booth, or an Assistant that controls slides and scripture from anywhere in the room.

Your members

Follow along & church page

Members scan a QR code and follow the service on their own phones: each scripture you project opens in their own Bible and translation, with the sermon point and live captions. Every service then stays on your church page, with your announcements and recording links.

Stage View

The speaker sees the same thing the congregation does — on their own phone.

Whoever is preaching can see what is live without turning round. Stage View mirrors it to their phone in real time, over the internet, so it works on mobile data or a different Wi-Fi network, not just the church's own. It works in the browser, or with the free Android app. Want a TV on the stage instead? Give that screen the Stage job in Settings › Screens.

01

A phone, not a monitor

Whatever's live on the projector mirrors to the speaker's phone as it changes, seconds after the operator projects it — a real confidence monitor, not a second screen someone has to remember to glance at back in the booth.

02

A code for tonight, or a standing pairing

A one-time join code works fine for a guest speaking once. For someone who preaches regularly, pair their phone instead — it reconnects on its own every service after that, no code to read out again.

03

A roster of speakers

Pair as many devices as your church actually uses — the lead pastor, an associate, a rotating guest list — and flag which ones are active for a given service. Two people sharing a message can both be live at the same time.

04

A private word from the booth

Send an active speaker a message that shows up instantly on their phone — “5 minutes left,” with an optional countdown that ticks down to “Time's up” on its own. Real two-way chat runs alongside it, operator to speaker and back, private to that one device.

Android

Companion apps, right in your pocket.

WCM isn't only the booth PC. These install separately and work for anyone in the church — not just whoever's running the console.

01

WCM Remote Control

Stage View mirroring, remote slide and scripture control, and two-way Speaker chat — over the internet, no shared Wi-Fi required.

From the Study Bible

The pastor's sermon, already in the booth.

With the WCM Study Bible, the pastor sends the sermon title, speaker and scriptures straight to your WCM. The title and speaker are ready full screen, the scriptures wait in the Queue and the points in Sermon Points. If WCM is closed, the sermon waits in its inbox.
