I have been actively searching for well over a year, speaking to state and denominational leaders, trying to find a solution to our language barriers, so when I say that One Accord has been a game changer for our church, I really mean it. As we have welcomed a growing number of non-English speaking people into our church, people who are looking for meaningful, Christ centered community and connection, One Accord has given us the means to make those connections a reality.
We believe that the gospel mandate of Christ insists that we overcome all racial, socio-economic, and cultural barriers, that as the church grows it should reflect the diversity of the community it serves. One Accord has given us the tools to fulfill our commission, and for that we are deeply grateful.
Why choose OneAccord
Behind OneAccord's powerful AI, is a team of real human believers. We bring with us years of providing real-time interpretation in our local churches. This means while our trusty AI does the translation, we program and train the AI using our own knowledge of Biblical terms and concepts as well as experience of translating them into different languages.
No good cook would expect a dish to come out just right without regular tasting, stirring, adjusting and seasoning until perfection.
Likewise, we don't consider our job done once you have subscribed. Our team are constantly improving the quality of our AI translation by carrying out Quality Assurance checks and providing feedback and support to your church where other factors are affecting the translation quality (such as audio problems).
The better your audio quality, the more accurate the translation. Otherwise, your sermon or announcement turns into an awkward game of telephone.
As you can probably guess, God's house is not something we're prepared to play games with at OneAccord. At the same time, we know that every church is different when it comes to the audio-visual side of the ministry.
Whatever your equipment or experience level, we want your church to be able to experience high-quality translation. That's why our translation sessions have built-in tools to help you monitor the audio quality in real-time. We also provide audio support with a dedicated sound technician on staff, available to help assist your team and resolve any issues.
Aside from the technical know-how our team brings, we know what it's like on a hectic Sunday morning, trying to set up equipment while coordinating with pastors and several other teams to make sure everything works in time for the service.
As a result, we have designed our platform to reduce your stress. We're confident that your team will find OneAccord intuitive to use and manage, while your congregation can access the translation with as few steps as possible.
Let's be honest, you probably heard the words "AI translation" and your imagination heard "At the traffic lights, take the next right". Don't worry, you're not the only one.
In a world where Waze, Google Maps, Siri and Alexa have long been part of our daily soundtrack, we wanted our spoken translation to sound a bit more natural than the digital voices we're accustomed to hearing.
Now, our translation voices won't match a human's natural cadence and nuance, but we're confident they will keep your translation users engaged throughout the service.

Some of our team are native English speakers living in non-English countries.
We remember first-hand the pit-in-your-stomach feeling, wondering if and how you'll fit in when you can't understand anything. The wonderful believers smiling patiently at our rough attempts to communicate. The faithful interpreters giving us the gift of understanding as they tried to keep up with the pastor's rapid-fire delivery. The joy when we started to feel like part of the community of believers in our new homes.
That's why we care so much about providing translation for God's house, because we've been there.
We now have the privilege of being able to provide translation for the wider church body through OneAccord and are excited to see whole communities experience that same joy of belonging to God’s family.
Are you considering translation for your multi-site church and wondering how it's all going to work? No problem.
With OneAccord, you can create multiple sessions happening at the same time, streaming from different campuses. You just label each session for the respective campus, so each congregation knows which session to join and that's it!

OneAccord is designed for churches that want to offer translation for the first time, or who have a small interpreting team and need support to be able to offer a wider range of languages or flexibility for your team. As church interpreters ourselves, we champion using human interpreters whenever this is possible. If you already have a team doing simultaneous interpreting, we would encourage you to build on this!
No problem, send us a message and let us know what you need!
We use AI models trained with a wide variety of speech so it does a good job of understanding different accents. It is also trained in biblical terminology and terminology used in churches and in sermons to boost the understanding of these terms.

You can make any amendments to the transcript, achieving 100% transcription accuracy before the translation stage, even when you have a pastor or speaker with an unusual accent or pronunciation. Our AI even gives you multiple suggestions of what they may have said to help speed up the process.
