Updates March: Audio translation, Improved editor, Equipping and More!

Posted by Kitty on March 14, 2025

It is with great enthusiasm that we share with you the latest developments around Kefas! We're excited to take you through the improvements we're so excited about ourselves. In this update, you will discover the latest features, such as the improved editor! In addition, we have created handy help pages on how you can optimally use Kefas in your church.

Live listening in to the gospel

Not just read along, but now listen along! This new "Audio Translation" feature allows you to hear the gospel in your own language, allowing even more people to receive and understand the message. Whether you prefer listening to reading, have difficulty reading, or just find spoken language more comfortable-this feature makes it possible.

This feature is a paid addition. For only €10 per month we can make it cost-effective and continue to improve it.

Our goal? To spread the gospel more widely and make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their language ability or age. Have you already enabled Audio Translation for your congregation? Let us know via email or chat, and we'll send you 10 sets of Kefas earbuds so listeners can use them right away!

Pleased with our improved editor

Our editor has received an upgrade! With a quieter look and feel, new handy features and extra space for text in speech-to-text, your experience will be even better. This was a much requested request for improvement by our users (and, frankly, by ourselves 😉 ).

It may take some getting used to, but no worries! Below we briefly summarize the most important changes. Want more details? Then check out our extensive help page, which you can now also access directly from the editor. Super convenient!

  • The 'Channels' button allows you to share the Kefas channel with new visitors from your meeting.

  • In Speech-to-text, you can use the three dots to set whether you want to turn autoscroll on or off and whether or not you want to see preview text.

  • Next to the send button is a down arrow. If you click this, you can apply one of the AI-assisted features by default before sending.

The AI assistant; always and for everyone now available!

We have expanded and tested our AI assistant quite a bit! Perhaps you've already discovered the repair button? This button, found under the magic icon in the editor, checks and repairs your sentences for grammar. But that's not all!

We have now also added the ability to summarize texts or convert lists to text. These new features are especially useful when working with written out sermons that are based on key phrases. Just choose several sentences and with the button you turn them into readable text that conveys the core message well. Also, when using the Speech-to-Text feature, texts are now converted much more legibly.

And you know what's even better? We make sure that the Christian context in the background is always included. In addition, specific Christian terminology is added so that Christian language is always displayed correctly.

We are excited about the new features and because we like to share this with everyone, this feature is available to everyone!

Kefas Channels: Now for Everyone!

Good news! From now on, Kefas channels are available for everyone to use. They are easy to set up and share.

What makes Kefas channels so convenient?

  • You just share a link or QR code, and done - everyone can join immediately. This can even be arranged on the spot during your meeting.

  • No Telegram required, just through the browser.

  • Messages are stored temporarily, so extra safe.

  • Kefas channels can be edited and modified.
