Bible Translations
Ten bundled translations across four languages, ready to switch between mid-service.

Cross-references
Kairos includes 340,000+ cross-references so every verse links to thematically related passages. The cross-reference panel shows them ranked by relevance, and you can click through to queue any of them for broadcast.
Switching translations during a sermon
The transport-bar translation picker lists every bundled translation. The active translation is the one rendered on the live overlay; switching here is the same surface that voice commands and remote control hit. Click to expand.
The active translation is the one rendered on the broadcast overlay. You can change it three ways:
- Voice command: "read in NIV", "switch to ESV", and so on. See Voice control for the full list.
- UI control: the translation picker in the transport bar.
- Remote control: Stream Deck, OSC, or HTTP. See Remote control.
When you swap, the live overlay reflows with the new translation while keeping the same verse reference.
Searching the Bible
The search panel runs an instant fuzzy search over the recent transcript context, exactly what you want when scrubbing back to "the thing the pastor said about endurance two minutes ago".
For full Bible search, the same panel falls back to a fast text search across all ten bundled translations. Both modes are unified behind one input.
