Why this matters

Built for a Vacation Bible School, not a generic event.

Vacation Bible School is where the church most often meets the families in its neighborhood who don't otherwise come on Sunday — and those are exactly the families most likely to speak another language at home. Reaching the parents who drop off and pick up, and helping bilingual kids follow along, is what turns a summer week into a year-round relationship.

The Spanish congregation

Who is reading in Español.

Spanish is the largest non-English home language in the United States by a wide margin, and Spanish-speaking members are the most common bilingual reality in the American church — often a first-generation congregation worshiping alongside their English-first children. Half the churches that come to VoxLive name Spanish before any other language.

Spanish is written in the Latin alphabet, so the challenge is not the script — it is keeping a natural, sermon-paced flow that a native speaker doesn't have to fight to follow.

Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)
Bible verse auto-detection · every plan

The Reina-Valera 1960 is the dominant Spanish Bible in Protestant and evangelical churches across Latin America and the US Hispanic church — for most Spanish-speaking believers, it is simply how the verse is supposed to sound.

How it works

From the sound board to every phone.

Connect a laptop or tablet to your sound board and open the VoxLive studio in a browser. No install, no receiver kit.
Add Spanish (and any other languages your room speaks) as listener languages, then click Go Live.
Share one link or QR code. Each person opens it on their own phone and picks Spanish — captions in Latin, optional translated audio in their earbuds.
When the speaker cites a passage, the verse appears on their screen in Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960), automatically.

Questions

Spanish VBS translation, answered.

How do we translate a Vacation Bible School into Spanish?

Connect a laptop or tablet to your sound board and open the VoxLive studio in a browser. Pick Spanish as a listener language and click Go Live. Everyone who needs it opens one link on their own phone and reads live Spanish 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.

Which Spanish Bible translation do the verses appear in?

The Reina-Valera 1960 is the dominant Spanish Bible in Protestant and evangelical churches across Latin America and the US Hispanic church — for most Spanish-speaking believers, it is simply how the verse is supposed to sound. When the speaker references a passage, VoxLive detects it and renders that verse on every Spanish listener's screen in Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960) — automatically, on every plan including Free.

Do Spanish-speaking members need to install anything?

No. They open a link the church shares (or scan a QR code) and choose Spanish on their own phone or tablet. No app, no account, no receiver, no hardware. Captions render in the Latin alphabet they already read.

Can VoxLive work alongside a human Spanish interpreter?

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.
