Language barriers shouldn't keep anyone from hearing the gospel. Streamlingo is an AI-powered real-time audio translation platform that began in churches and has grown into a multilingual tool for congregations, conferences, and classrooms — turning any spoken message into a language each listener can understand, with support for 80+ output languages.^1
The setup is refreshingly simple: connect your church's audio source to a computer, open Streamlingo in a browser, and display a QR code for your congregation. Attendees scan the code on their smartphones, choose their language, and listen through their own headphones — no app download required.^1 The platform includes a Christian glossary that helps the AI accurately translate biblical vocabulary, and offers additional features like live transcription so listeners can follow along by reading as well as hearing, human translator channels, audio streaming for parents in the family room, and accessibility for hearing-impaired members.^1
Founded in 2024 by Tim-Cedric Inhoff, a pastor's son who built the tool to meet translation needs in his father's church, Streamlingo is now a team of eight headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, and has grown from serving a single congregation into a platform used by 250+ organizations across three verticals — churches, events, and education.^2 Co-founders Elly Miller (Communication) and Nathan (Design) round out the founding team alongside CEO Tim-Cedric Inhoff, and the team remains actively involved in local church life.^2 A permanent free tier with two hours of AI translation is available, making it accessible to churches of any size.^1
Why Christians Love It"When we used Streamlingo for the first time, a member of our congregation came to us after the service. He is Iranian and was moved to tears — after three years in our church, he was finally able to understand the entire sermon." — Norbert, Agape Eschweiler^1
"Streamlingo really is a huge help and a total added value. We used to work a lot with translators and it was always a lot of work. It's really a huge relief now." — Wolfgang, Jesus Freaks Remscheid^1
"Streamlingo made such an impact at our event. Guests were able to engage with the app to access their own language and engage with the teaching in a new way." — Event organiser^4
