Scripture presenter
The text is the sermon visual.
Most presenters start from a blank slide. Berea starts from the chapter. Press Present and the text goes up, then you work it, word by word, in front of the room.
Marking
Marks follow the words, not the screen.
Click a verse to put it up. Shift-click a run, Command-click to add another. Then click a word to mark it and click again to remove it, even inside a phrase you already highlighted.
Rings and arches stay on their words when the text wraps or the window changes size. The reader and the room screen draw the same way, so what you practise is what you present.
Six tools
- Highlight
- a band of colour
- Underline
- a rubric line
- Strike
- through a word
- Spotlight
- fades the rest
- Circle
- rings a word
- Point
- arches word to word
Plus layouts, fade and text size, a blank screen and fullscreen.
The room follows along
One scan to read along. One to take the remote.
Show a QR code and the room opens the same passage on their own phones, with the marks as you make them. No app and no sign-in.
A second code hands one phone the controls: next, previous and blank, over the church Wi-Fi, straight to your Mac. It works in a room with no internet at all.
On the screen
At the pulpit
Hands on the Bible, not the laptop.
Global hotkeys work while the console is in the background. Six Stream Deck keys show live state: start, next, previous, blank, marks and a quick verse.
Need a verse nobody planned? Press V, type the reference, and it fills the screen until you move on.
Built for a live room
The screen does not get to fail you.
The preview in the console shows exactly what the room sees. Close the Scripture window by accident and any action brings it back as it was. Blank the screen with one key when the moment needs the room, not the text.
The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple.Read it. Mark it. Present it.
The presenter is free while Berea is in beta, and it works offline.
