Abstract
In collaboration with a local church, this project hopes to streamline the process of presenting lyrics during church services by developing an automated system that synchronizes with Renewed Vision’s Propresenter live production software suite. Traditional methods of advancing lyric slides often rely on manual cues or predetermined timing, resulting in occasional delays or mismatches with live performances and a dedicated operator. To address this challenge, our system takes microphone input from singers, employing a speech-to-text program to accurately interpret vocal cues. This feature is particularly crucial as the song order may be changed during the service, preventing smooth loading and necessitating a system that can adapt dynamically. Through real-time processing, the system automatically advances lyric slides on Propresenter, ensuring seamless synchronization with the musicians. Our system hosts the lyric slides and the script to allow ease of the synchronization and full control of what is being displayed. By leveraging technology to streamline this aspect of church services, our project contributes to the modernization and efficiency of worship practices, ultimately fostering a more engaging and harmonious worship experience for both online and in-person congregants.
