When a Russian-speaking family is grieving, English falls away. The service has to reach them in Русский — the first time, because there is no second.
Or start free — 8 broadcast hours a month, no credit card.
A funeral is the moment a language barrier hurts most and is least forgivable. Grieving family members who normally get by in English fall back to their mother tongue — and there is no second take. The service has to carry every word of comfort into the language the family will actually feel it in.
Russian is one of the ten most-spoken languages on earth, and Russian-speaking congregations anchor immigrant church life across the US, Germany, and Israel — many rebuilt after the Soviet-era emigration and the more recent wave since 2022. A large share are older members who arrived as adults and worship most naturally in Russian, even when their children have switched to English.
Russian and Ukrainian share the Cyrillic script and a great deal of vocabulary, which is exactly why generic speech engines confuse them. VoxLive keeps them as distinct listener languages, each with its own Bible translation.
The Synodal translation, first published in 1876, is the Bible almost every Russian-speaking Protestant and Orthodox congregation reads from — the reference point for how a verse actually sounds to a Russian ear.
Connect a laptop or tablet to your sound board and open the VoxLive studio in a browser. Pick Russian as a listener language and click Go Live. Everyone who needs it opens one link on their own phone and reads live Russian captions — or listens to translated audio in their earbuds — as the speaker talks. There is no app to install and no receiver to hand out.
The Synodal translation, first published in 1876, is the Bible almost every Russian-speaking Protestant and Orthodox congregation reads from — the reference point for how a verse actually sounds to a Russian ear. When the speaker references a passage, VoxLive detects it and renders that verse on every Russian listener's screen in Синодальный перевод (Synodal) — automatically, on every plan including Free.
No. They open a link the church shares (or scan a QR code) and choose Russian on their own phone or tablet. No app, no account, no receiver, no hardware. Captions render in Cyrillic, their own script — not a transliteration.
Yes — this is one of the things that makes VoxLive different. If your church already has a volunteer or missionary interpreter, VoxLive can carry their live voice to every phone and let AI cover only the languages they can't. Interpreter mode is available now; you are not forced to replace the person you already trust.

Yes. A funeral is often arranged in a few days, and VoxLive is built to be running the same afternoon you decide to use it — no hardware to order, no receivers to charge, no install. A volunteer opens the studio page in a browser, the family opens a link on their phones, and the $5 First Sunday Pass unlocks the full product for that one service if you don't already have a plan.
The cheapest way to know is not another page — it is your own room. The First Sunday Pass unlocks the whole product for one full service for $5. If it doesn't work in your sanctuary, the $5 comes back.
No app to install. No receivers to buy. Works alongside your existing livestream.
