Common questions.

Rhema is an intelligent presentation and production workspace built for church services. Bring scripture, worship lyrics, slides, announcements and media together, shape how they look, and present them to your congregation from one place.

Its live tools help your team follow the service as it unfolds: find scripture as the pastor speaks, navigate passages by voice, and identify worship songs with Song Spotting (beta). Sermon Hub helps turn the message into transcripts, notes and summaries, while Clip Studio helps prepare captioned sermon highlights. Live translation on Max helps more people follow along in their own language.

From preparing the service to sharing the message afterwards, Rhema brings those tasks into one workflow. Features vary by plan; see the feature overview and plan comparison.

Start with a supported computer and the Rhema app. For live listening, connect a microphone or a clear audio feed from your church’s sound desk. To present to the congregation, connect a display or projector.

Check the download page for available versions and system requirements. Online features need an internet connection; prepare your local media and scripture resources before the service.

Song Spotting helps your team identify a worship song from the sung lyrics, so they can find the right song and prepare its lyrics for the screen. It is currently a beta feature on Pro and Max. Keep your worship set ready and check the suggested song before presenting it.

Sermon Hub brings together sermon transcripts, notes and summaries for you to review and export. Clip Studio helps you prepare captioned highlights from sermon video for sharing beyond the service.

Review generated text and clips before publishing them, especially names, scripture references and captions. See the plan comparison for access to these tools.

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade through your subscription management page. Check the effective date and any charges shown before confirming the change. If you need help choosing a plan, contact us.

You can cancel through your subscription management page. Your paid access continues until the end of your current billing period. If you cannot find your subscription details, contact us using the email address you subscribed with.

Your plan includes an allowance for live online transcription: turning speech into text while Rhema listens. Sixty minutes of that processing uses one hour. Simply leaving the app open or presenting local slides and media does not use transcription hours.

The allowance is shared across the seats in your plan and resets each billing month. See pricing for the included hours and top-up options.

Free includes offline direct-quote scripture detection, manual scripture lookup and built-in live output, with no paid subscription required. Prepare the local resources your setup needs before going offline.

Online detection, paraphrase and allusion detection, Sermon Hub and other additional tools require a paid plan. See the plan comparison for details.

Rhema listens for scripture as the pastor speaks and suggests matching passages. Depending on your plan, it can recognise direct quotations, paraphrases and less explicit references.

A clear audio feed makes a real difference. Background music, overlapping voices and unfamiliar wording can affect results, so rehearse with your own sound setup. You can review suggestions and choose what goes on screen; manual scripture lookup is there when you need it.

You can continue presenting local media and scripture resources that are already available on your computer. Features that need an online connection may be interrupted.

Offline detection depends on your plan and the resources installed on your device. Check your setup before the service and keep manual scripture lookup ready as a backup.

Rhema has its own presentation output. Connect a screen or projector, select the output, and choose the scripture, lyrics, slides or media you want to show. Use the graphics tools to customise the appearance where your plan includes them.

Supported outputs include:

• Displays and projectors for congregation screens and projection.
• NDI to send your presentation over the network to compatible production and streaming systems.
• Blackmagic DeckLink for output through compatible video hardware, including SDI workflows.

Preview lets you check content before sending it live. Your team stays in control of what the congregation sees.

Yes. Max includes live translation, with translated subtitles and spoken translation options. This helps people follow the message in a language they understand.

Live translation needs an internet connection and takes time to process speech. Check the available languages and your audio setup before the service, and review the Max plan for what is included.

Yes. Sermon Hub saves transcripts and notes locally on your computer so you can return to them after closing Rhema. They remain until you delete the sermon record. Manage any copies you export, share or back up separately.

A transcript is text, not an audio recording. Creating sermon notes does not mean Rhema is saving a recording of your service.

Online features process the information needed to provide that feature. Read our Privacy Policy and Terms for data-handling details before using Rhema with your congregation.

Email us from the address you used to subscribe and we can help you recover your key. If you no longer have access to that email, contact us so we can verify ownership and help you regain access.

First, check that the correct microphone or sound-desk input is selected and that the audio meter moves when someone speaks. Then check that listening is enabled, your plan includes the detection mode you are using, and any required internet connection is working.

If a verse appears in Preview but not on the congregation screen, check the selected output and your presentation controls. If you still need help, contact support with your app version and a short description of what happened.
