Bible Song Pro Studio Desktop Console

01 · The desk

Nothing reaches the screen you haven’t seen.

Every item is cued to preview first. You read it, you check the reference, and only then do you take it to air. This is a working model of the transport — click a row, then take it.

02 · Position

Built inside the stream, not beside it.

Bible Song Pro started as an OBS browser source. Everything since has been built by people who were already in the booth, for the person who is still in it at 10:52 on a Sunday.

01

Broadcast-native

Preview and program. NDI out. Lower thirds. OBS and vMix are targets, not exports — the console talks to them directly.

02

Operator-first

Dark, dense, keyboard-driven. Designed for someone also watching a camera feed, a chat and a clock. Every control does what its label says.

03

Reverent

Scripture is quoted with book, chapter, verse and translation — never trimmed to fit. No effect exists to show that an effect exists.

04

Open at the root

The OBS and vMix plugin stays free and open source under GPL-3.0. It is where the trust was earned. It is not moving behind a paywall.

03 · The console

Every output on the desk, named by its protocol.

NDI

Network output

Program and key sent to the switcher over NDI. No capture card, no second machine.

OBS WebSocket

Scene control

Cue a verse and switch the scene in the same action. The console drives OBS; OBS does not drive it.

vMix

Direct input

Scripture and lyrics arrive as a first-class vMix input, ready to be mixed like any other source.

Stage

Stage displays

Build a layout per screen — next verse, clock, notes, countdown. The band sees one thing, the room another.

Lower third

Titles that behave

Hard-edged, no overshoot, on the house curve. A title that bounces reads as amateur on air.

Songs

Import and arrange

Bring your library in, mark the structure, cue by section. Song is half the product, not a footnote.

Decks

Slides and PowerPoint

Open a .pptx, sit it in the same cue list as the verses, and take it with the same key.

Media

Stills and video

Backgrounds and clips cued from the desk, previewed before they go anywhere near the screen.

Themes

Theme designer

Type, safe areas and position set once, applied everywhere. Your church's look, not ours.

History

Session history

Every take, timestamped. Useful on Sunday, and more useful on Monday when someone asks what went out.

Panels

A desk you arrange

Dockable panels. Put the cue list where your hand already goes and leave it there.

Keys

Keyboard first

Cue, take, clear and next without moving a hand to the mouse. Under pressure, that is the whole feature.

04 · Detection

One instrument on the console, not the whole product.

Bible Song Pro listens, recognises the reference being spoken and cues the verse. It does not put it on screen. It puts it on preview, where you decide — because the software being confident is not the same as the software being right.

Recognition runs on your machine first. The cloud engine is a fallback for when the local one cannot keep up, not a requirement for the service to work. If the network drops mid-sermon, the desk keeps running.

Local On-device recognitionApple silicon uses the MLX path; every platform has an ONNX runtime.
Fallback Cloud engine, optionalBring your own key. Off by default.
Behaviour Detection cues to previewIt never takes to air on its own. That key belongs to the operator.
Offline The console does not need the internetScripture, songs, decks and outputs are all local.

05 · Tally

If it’s orange, it’s on screen.

Five states, one meaning each, identical in the app, on the stage display and in this page. Colour is never used decoratively on a surface that also shows live state — it must never lie about what is on air.

Program On screen. Live to the room and to the stream.
Preview Cued and safe to edit.
Hold Cleared, black, standby.
Fault Source dropped, no signal, no audio.
Link Remote or networked device attached.

06 · Scripture

Public domain in the box. Your translation, imported.

Bible Song Pro ships five public-domain translations, so nothing you download carries a licence you did not agree to. Every other translation is yours to bring: import the file you already own and it appears alongside the rest.

Bundled

Five translations, no licence attached

King James Version, American Standard Version, Darby, Young’s Literal Translation, and Louis Segond in French. All public domain, all offline.

Imported

Bring the one your church reads

Import a translation file and it is checked on the way in — the 66-book canon, the book names, the structure. Incomplete or unfamiliar files warn rather than refuse, so a New Testament or a Yoruba bible still loads.

07 · Get it

Two products. Both free, both open.

There is no Pro edition, no licence key, no seat count and no trial that expires. Every competitor in this category sells you three pricing cards. Bible Song Pro has none, and the licence is the reason it can stay that way.

There are public repositories with a date on them.

Every product in this category claims to be built for live production. This one has the commit history. The plugin has been public since 2024 under GPL-3.0, and Studio carries the exact same licence. There is nothing to unlock.
