Made in Vancouver, for churches across Canada.

Voclyn Atelier Inc. is a Canadian company in Vancouver, and Canadian churches pay in Canadian dollars. Our pricing page shows prices in CAD to visitors in Canada.

Prices are before tax. In Canada we add GST/HST and, in BC, PST where it applies; registered charities may be able to recover part of the GST/HST, so ask your accountant what applies to your church. Annual plans cost ten months and can be paid by Canadian pre-authorized debit or by invoice. See the plans.

French can be spoken at the front, and Voclyn detects it by itself, even when a pastor moves between French and English in the middle of a sentence. Francophones read the English parts in French and anglophones read the French parts in English; on paid plans an AI voice can read either aloud, and the big screen can carry both as two bands:

Captions are written in standard French, addressing the congregation as vous, and the listener page’s own buttons are in French too. What isn’t in French yet: a French starter pack for the glossary, so add culte, messe or homélie yourself; a published French Bible, so readings are translated and labelled AI; and our website and the dashboard your team uses. How language switching works.

In the 2021 census, Statistics Canada counted 4.6 million people who mostly speak a language other than English or French at home, and one Canadian in four had another mother tongue. Mandarin and Punjabi were the most common of those languages at home, and the number of people who mostly speak Malayalam or Tigrigna (Tigrinya) at home more than doubled between 2016 and 2021.

Every language that census release names can be read in the pews with Voclyn: Mandarin 普通话（简体）, Punjabi ਪੰਜਾਬੀ, Malayalam മലയാളം, Tigrinya ትግርኛ, Hindi हिन्दी and Gujarati ગુજરાતી.

A church welcoming newcomers, or a family it has sponsored, adds their language to the room, and they can read the service in it from the first Sunday. All 100+ languages.

• Listeners don’t make accounts. The listener page has no cookies or trackers and never uses the phone’s microphone, camera or location.
• Service audio is streamed to be captioned and never stored.
• A transcript is kept only if the room is set to keep it, for as long as the plan keeps transcripts, then deleted.
• Each church sees only its own information, and that rule is enforced in the database itself.
• Under the terms we use, our providers don’t train their models on your services’ speech or text.
• Our privacy page names every provider we use and what each one handles. Some of them store or process information outside Canada, including in the United States.

Our privacy page has the details your board may ask for.

In Metro Vancouver alone, about 360,000 people spoke Mandarin or Cantonese as their native language in the 2016 census. For churches like theirs, Cantonese has its own speech engine and each Chinese reader chooses their script. Translation for Chinese churches.

Korean churches with a KM and an EM, Spanish-speaking congregations and Vietnamese churches each have a page of their own: Korean–English, Spanish and Vietnamese.
