Velora is the smart Bible app that highlights passages in real time as your pastor references them—and extends personalized sermon insights throughout your week. Stay fully present in worship instead of flipping pages or fumbling through menus. Velora captures every reference in your preferred Bible version, embedding each one in a real-time transcription and formatted summary that keeps Sunday's teaching with you long after the service ends. CAPTURE EVERY VERSE, THE MOMENT IT'S PREACHED Velora's Relay listens along with you in church and gracefully pulls up each passage—whether your pastor is asking you to turn there or simply quoting, paraphrasing, or thematically alluding to it. Velora even recommends related passages that complement the sermon—all in real time, so you stay focused on the Word and never lose your place. REFLECT ON THE SERMON BEYOND SUNDAY Sermons shouldn't fade by Tuesday. Velora lets you build a library of the preaching you hear—full transcripts and summaries, beautifully formatted to follow the shape of the service, from prayers and quotes to the closing benediction—so you can return to it through the week and let the teaching take root. ASK VELORA—GROUNDED IN YOUR CHURCH Every sermon you capture with Relay becomes context for Ask Velora, the AI conversation experience tuned for reflecting on the preaching you've heard. Ask anything about last week's sermon or a whole season of teaching, or focus on a specific message, speaker, or date range, and explore how your own pastor has taught on a theme over time. Designed for discipleship rather than dependency, Ask Velora draws on your own church's teaching—and even lets you turn it into personalized discussion guides and study resources. BEGIN EACH DAY IN THE WORD Open Velora every morning to a personalized daily verse, chosen for you based on the sermons you've recently heard—paired with unique, reverent artwork that reflects the mood of the passage. BUILT AROUND YOUR LOCAL CHURCH Velora exists to put your local church at the center of your devotional life.
