It hears the sermon. The verse is already on screen

It finds the passage while your pastor preaches, and puts it on every screen in the building.

How it works

Three seconds, start to screen

Your operator watches the room. NaveLight does the typing.

We're filming it in a real service

Not a mockup, and not a screen recording with the timings tidied up.

00:08 A reference is spoken, and the verse is on screen before the sentence ends
00:25 The preacher tells the story instead, and it finds the passage by meaning
00:42 The operator takes the AI back to suggest-only, mid-service, with one button
00:55 The network cable comes out and nothing happens
STEP 01

Your pastor preaches

It listens on the mic you already run to the sound desk. The audio never leaves the machine.

Input · Pulpit mic
Listening… · base.en
STEP 02

NaveLight finds the verse

It catches the reference if they give one, and finds the passage if they only tell the story.

STEP 03

It goes up

One tap and it's live on every screen. Or it goes up on its own, if you've let it.

16 For God so loved the world…

JOHN 3:16 · KJV

You decide how far it can go

One capability at a time. It arrives only ever suggesting, and one button puts it back there mid-service.

Explicit references Smart Auto
Verse navigation Smart Auto
Version switch Smart Auto
Semantic matches Assist
Song cues Assist
Lyric follow Smart Auto

Smart Auto projects confident references & commands (≥95%); semantic matches always wait for you. Lyric follow never airs new content, it only moves within the song already live.

How the AI decides

Pull the cable out mid-service

Nothing happens. No warning banner, no reduced mode, no feature quietly switching itself off. There is no account to sign into and nothing to check.

  • The Bibles and the hymns are already installed
  • The listening happens on your computer
  • The phone remote runs on your own Wi-Fi

What runs locally

What your current software can't do on Sunday

Yours is probably fine. This is only the handful of things NaveLight does differently, and the places where it doesn't.

Switching is the hard part, not choosing

Most churches asking us this are on EasyWorship. A table won't tell you whether your library survives the move, so we've written up both common cases in full — including what doesn't come across.

Pricing

One licence. Every computer in your building

Not per seat, not per device. Your booth machine, the laptop in the back, the spare you keep for when the booth machine dies — all of it, one price. Every install starts with a month of Pro.

Or don't rent it at all

Buy it once. $590. It's yours

A year of updates included, then it keeps working forever whether you renew or not. We can offer that because NaveLight runs on your machine; software that needs a server to answer can't.

Every plan works offline. We don't hold anything back behind a connection, and we don't count your computers.

Questions churches ask

The five that decide whether a church tries it.

Offline & privacy

Does church presentation software work without an internet connection?

NaveLight does, completely and indefinitely. The Bibles, hymns, songs and media are stored on the machine, the speech and search models run on the machine, and there is no account to sign into. Most presentation software works offline for the basics but checks a licence periodically, and cloud-based AI tools stop detecting scripture the moment the connection drops.

Where does the sermon audio go?

Nowhere. Transcription and scripture search run on the church's own computer, so the audio and the transcript never leave the building. There is no account, no upload and no cloud processing, which is also why the AI features keep working when the internet doesn't.

The AI

Does the AI put things on screen by itself?

Only if you tell it to, and you decide capability by capability. Six settings — explicit references, verse navigation, version switch, semantic matches, song cues and lyric follow — each run in Assist (suggest only), Smart Auto (project when at least 95% confident) or Full Auto. It ships cautious, with the guessier features on Assist, and one button returns everything to suggest-only mid-service.

Moving over

Can NaveLight import my existing songs?

Yes, from EasyWorship and ProPresenter, plus OpenLyrics XML and plain text. Both libraries are detected automatically during setup and bring across songs, media and presentations in one step. You can also paste lyrics directly, including from SongSelect with the CCLI details attached.

What computer does it need?

A mid-range machine your media team probably already has: 4 GB of RAM minimum, 8 GB recommended. During setup NaveLight checks the computer and recommends which speech model it can comfortably run, and the rest of the software works with no AI model installed at all.

All questions, including price and translations →

Still have a question?

Ask us anything, including the awkward ones. A real person answers, and if NaveLight isn't right for your church we'll say so.
