RheoCast listens to the sermon and puts the verse on screen the moment it's spoken. Then it runs the rest of your service too: cameras, scenes, lyrics, overlays, recording, and live streaming to YouTube and Facebook. One app, no switcher required.
Scripture detected from the pulpit, on screen and in your stream, without anyone touching a keyboard.
We see this principle of divine providence throughout Scripture. No matter what trials we face today, we are never abandoned. Let's look at a familiar passage from the Old Testament, Genesis chapter 1 verse 1.
Nobody at the back of the room is typing. Watch what happens instead.
“Turn with me to John three sixteen”, and the verse is on screen before he finishes the sentence.
…so turn with me to John chapter three, verse sixteen
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
He announces the passage and reads it aloud, and the screen follows: each verse arrives as he finishes the last, and it stops at the end. Nobody at the desk pressing Next.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Click a word at the desk, or drag across a phrase, and it lights up on the congregation’s screen.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The preacher steps through the passage by voice. Only clear commands count; a stray “next” in a sentence does nothing.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Paste a page or a link and the song comes back as verses, titled and credited. Bring your EasyWorship library in one go.
Follow the notes on a second screen, and send a sentence to air as a lower third when he lands it.
Side by side on the same sermons, RheoCast put the verse on screen before the other scripture apps we tested.
Preacher…so turn with me to John three sixteen
The usual rig is two apps holding hands, with window capture and a nervous volunteer in between. RheoCast retires the rig: cameras, scenes, overlays, recording and the stream itself are one program on one machine.
On every plan, Free included. No trial, no time limit.
Build scenes from any source and take with a cut, fade, slide, zoom, a stinger, or Move, which glides a panel from full frame into a lower third.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 · KJVYouTube, Facebook and any RTMP destination at once, from one Go Live, with a pre-flight check first and dropped-frame counts while you are on.
Every picture, video and deck the team puts in a scene lands in the Library. Search it, open Recently played, and Show on Program; a video hands back to your scene when it ends.
Paste your YouTube channel’s link once and the stream’s chat opens in its own window, on whatever you are live on. The people watching are the first to hear a problem.
Pair a phone with a code and it joins the scene over Wi-Fi, with a light on its screen so whoever holds it knows when they are on.
Lower thirds, scripture panels and countdowns on a canvas, bound to the live verse or the clock. Or describe one and have it made.
Record while you stream: the finished picture, a clean feed without the graphics, or one scene regardless of what is on Program.
Every input on one mixer with live meters, and music that ducks the moment someone speaks into the mic.
Key a green or blue backdrop out of any camera in real time, with amount, edge softness and spill removal to tune, for almost nothing to run.
CameraOn Programkeyed liveProjection, Bibles, songs, scenes and local recording all work offline, on a plan saved for a month. Detection resumes when the connection does.
Because the Gospel reaching further matters more to us than the invoice. No church should have to choose between reaching people and affording the tool that reaches them.
So the whole Broadcast console is on every plan, including Free. Not a trial, not a teaser, and no upgrade prompt buried inside it.
Coming from OBS, vMix or ProPresenter? Everything you use them for is already above. And while you move across, the External Output feeds your old rig over NDI on every plan — with the scripture browser-source and Present NDI feeds on Pro — so you can switch between services instead of on a Sunday morning.
Install the free RheoCast Camera app on any Android phone or iPhone and it becomes a camera for the console, over your own Wi-Fi, with no capture card, no HDMI run, and nothing to buy.
Two phones is two angles. An old handset in a drawer is a balcony shot. Plenty of churches start their first stream this way and add real cameras later, one at a time.
Android or iPhone. It does not have to be the newest one in the room.
The picture travels over your own network. It never touches the internet on the way to the console.
Zoom, flip and the phone’s light are all controlled from the console, so nobody has to stand beside it.
A red border fills the phone’s screen the moment it goes on air, readable from across the room.
The things that come from watching one volunteer try to do four jobs at once.
Open a link on any phone on the church Wi-Fi and you have the scene switcher, Take, and Record in your hand. Cut cameras from the sound desk, the balcony, or the front row.
Click a word in the preview, or drag across a phrase, and it lights up on the projector as you do it. When the preacher leans on one phrase, the congregation sees exactly which one.
You are transcribing the sermon anyway. Switch it on and the same words become live captions on your stream, for deaf members, and for everyone scrolling Facebook with the sound off.
While the sermon runs, RheoCast surfaces related passages it heard connections to, ready to display if the preacher goes there, ignored if he doesn’t.
Nobody buys software for these. Everybody notices when they are missing.
Test mode puts a test card and tone on your stream so you can confirm the platform is receiving it, without broadcasting an empty sanctuary. Go Live runs a pre-flight check and tells you what is wrong instead of failing silently.
Set a wall-clock start time and the pre-service countdown handles itself, so people joining early see something other than a frozen frame.
Queue the verses the preacher plans to use, and step through them with one key on the day. Multi-verse passages expand into a group you can walk through.
Every session is saved with its transcript and the verses it found. Find a Sunday by its title or its date, and rename it so the next search is quicker.
Pop sermon notes into a separate always-on-top window and put it on a confidence monitor. It stays in sync with the operator's copy.
A church's transcription hours are shared by all of its devices, so one campus running a long conference can draw on the whole allowance.
Right-click any scene and send it to a third screen. Put a countdown on it and it turns amber at five minutes, pulses red at one, and counts up past zero, with +1:00 and +5:00 a click away at the console.
Send Program, Preview, or any scene to another computer as an NDI source (one free runtime install), switchable live. Free on every plan, like everything else in the Broadcast console.
If the internet is down, the app still launches on your saved plan (for up to a month offline). Projection, Bibles, songs, scenes and local recording all work offline; detection resumes when the connection does.
We serve on a church media team. RheoCast is the tool we wanted on a Sunday morning and could not find anywhere.
So we built it for our own service first. Scripture on screen as it is spoken, the cameras and the stream in the same app, the sermon still working on Monday. Then we put it in front of other churches.
If it does not survive a live service, it does not ship.
It is why the tally border is readable across a room, why muting the mic for the broadcast does not stop the transcript, and why nothing reaches your congregation until you press Take.

Everything churches ask before their first Sunday on RheoCast.
RheoCast is church presentation and live production software in one app. It listens to the sermon, detects spoken Bible references and puts the verse on screen automatically, and it runs the rest of your service too: cameras, scenes, song lyrics, overlays, recording, and streaming straight to YouTube and Facebook.
RheoCast streams your service itself. The Broadcast tab is a full production console: add cameras, screen shares, phone cameras and media, build scenes, cut between them with transitions, mix your audio, record locally, and go live to YouTube, Facebook or any custom RTMP destination at the same time. Moving from OBS or vMix? You can run both while you change over: on Pro and Ministry, NDI and browser-source output keep feeding your old switcher until you are ready to retire it.
As the sermon is preached, RheoCast hears the Bible references and puts the matching verse on screen, with no slide operator needed. References it is sure of can go up by themselves; anything less certain waits for one click. It understands references the way people say them, like “first John chapter three verse sixteen”.
Yes. The free plan includes the entire Broadcast console (cameras, scenes, recording and live streaming) plus song lyrics, sermon notes, manual scripture search and eight offline Bible translations. Paid plans add live transcription and automatic verse detection, Creator Studio, your own imported Bibles and display customization; Pro and Ministry add NDI and browser-source output.
A Mac (macOS 12 or later) or a Windows 10/11 PC, on the machine that drives your projector or stream. Live transcription needs an internet connection; scripture display, search, song lyrics and the eight bundled translations all work offline. Streaming uses hardware video encoding, which needs macOS 13.3 or later on Mac.
Creator Studio turns each sermon into content automatically: a cleaned-up transcript, a summary, structured sermon notes, a five-day devotional series, and platform-ready social posts, all generated from what was actually preached.
Yes. RheoCast powers the presentation and broadcast side, while ChurchCast handles church management: mobile apps, members, finances, and ministry operations. ChurchCast Professional plans and above include RheoCast at no extra cost.
Free to download, free to broadcast. Install it on the machine that already runs your projector and take it for a Sunday.
