Bible Verse Slides in Any Language, Filled in Automatically

The Scribedeck team · August 8, 2026

Verse slides are the most copied-and-pasted objects in church media. Someone opens a Bible site, copies the text, pastes it into a slide, fixes the quotation marks, shrinks the font, adds the reference — sixteen times per sermon. And in a multilingual church, someone does it all again in the second language.

Type the reference; the scripture appears

In Scribedeck, "Romans 8:28" in your notes — or typed into the add-verse box — becomes a finished slide: full verse text, reference and translation in the footer, styled to match your deck. Ranges work too ("Rom 8:28-30"), and abbreviations are understood.

Real translations in 15+ languages

Verse text comes from published, public-domain Bible translations: English (KJV, WEB, ASV and more), Spanish, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Portuguese, French, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and others. This matters most for follow-along: when a member picks Tamil on their phone, the verse they read is an actual Tamil Bible — machine translation is used only for your sermon points, never silently for scripture, and anything AI-assisted is labeled.

Fonts are handled for you as well. Type or import text in any script — Tamil, Devanagari, Chinese, Korean, Arabic — and the right Noto fonts render it crisply on screen and in your ProPresenter and PowerPoint exports.

You stay in control of the text

• Prefer your own wording or a licensed translation you have rights to? Turn off verse lookup and your typed text is kept letter-for-letter.
• Every verse slide is editable like any other — resize, highlight a phrase in gold, split long passages across slides.
• Reveal line-by-line works on verses too, for reading a passage together phrase by phrase.

Where licensed translations stand

NIV, ESV and other licensed translations require publisher agreements, which we're pursuing — the built-in list today is public-domain texts, which is also why they can be shown freely to every phone in your congregation. Your own song lyrics and any text you paste remain yours and private to your workspace.
