When a non-English speaker walks into your church, what do they hear? For many, it's a wall of sound they can't penetrate — warm smiles but no understanding. OneAccord is a real-time AI translation platform built specifically for churches, turning that isolating experience into one of belonging.^1
Built by a team of church interpreters and led by founder Anne Adams — a software engineer, pastor's kid, and believer who knows firsthand the sting of sitting in a service you can't understand — OneAccord translates sermons and services into over 50 languages via both text and audio, right on congregation members' phones.^2 No app download required — just scan a QR code, pick your language, and hit play.^1
What sets OneAccord apart from generic AI translation tools is its custom models trained on biblical terminology and church-specific language.^1 A built-in moderation feature lets your team review and correct transcriptions in real time, helping you reach near-perfect accuracy.^1 The platform also supports live captions, making services accessible to the hearing impaired as well as multilingual attendees.^3 Each church gets its own branded translation page, custom QR code, and dedicated support from a team of sound technicians and experienced church interpreters who run regular quality checks.^3
OneAccord offers two modes: broadcast mode for one-way Sunday services, and conversation mode for small group discussions where everyone can speak and follow along in their own language.^1 Multi-site churches can run simultaneous sessions across campuses.^1
The platform launched in December 2023 to help a single church serve one Spanish speaker. By May 2025, OneAccord had reached 100 subscribers. Six months later, it doubled to 200 churches worldwide.^4
Why Christians Love It"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." — Rev.
