Voice & Remote Control

Drive the live display hands-free from the pulpit, or from a phone anywhere in the room.

Voice control

Because Paraclette already understands the spoken word, the preacher can drive the screen hands-free — no operator action needed for common moves:

  • Verse jumps — “look at verse 14”, “go to 14”, “turn to 14” moves to that verse within the current passage.
  • Navigation — “next verse” / “go back” advance and rewind the live slide.
  • Translation switching — ask for a different version aloud and Paraclette can switch the displayed translation on the fly.

Voice commands are range-guarded and require context, so numbers said in passing (“thirty years ago”) won’t accidentally jump your display.

Phone / tablet remote

Control the live display from anywhere in the room using your phone:

  1. Enable the remoteIn Settings → Remote Control, start the Web Remote server.
  2. Scan the QR codeA QR code appears. Scan it with any phone or tablet on the same Wi-Fi.
  3. Control from your handBig touch buttons let you go Next / Previous, Clear / Blackout, and restore the display.

If your phone won’t load the remote, disable “Use Secure Connections” / HTTPS-Only in the phone’s browser settings (the LAN remote uses plain http://) and re-scan. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi.
