Bible Projection

Navigating the Bible

The Bible interface is the main operator page. It lets you browse all 66 books of the Old and New Testament, select a chapter, and display verses for projection.

  • Book selection — Searchable dropdown menu. Type the first letters to filter (e.g., "Joh" for John, "Gen" for Genesis). Books are organized by Old Testament then New Testament.
  • Chapter selection — Numeric grid displaying all chapters of the selected book. Click a number to load its verses.
  • Verse display — Verses display in a grid (compact view) or list (detailed view). Toggle between the two modes to suit your preference.
  • Quick navigation — Previous / next chapter buttons to navigate without returning to the grid.

Bible Versions

lixPresentr supports over 145 Bible versions in 50+ languages. Select your primary version via the version dropdown menu.

  • Free — Louis Segond (LSG) and King James Version (KJV) included with all plans.
  • Pro — Access to all other versions (NEG, NBS, S21, NIV, ESV, NASB, and many more).

Projecting a Verse

Projecting a verse involves two steps: selection then sending to the screen.

  • Single click — Selects the verse and displays it in the preview panel.
  • Double click — Selects and instantly projects the verse on the projection screen.
  • Live button — Toggles live projection on or off. When Live is active (green), the selected verse is visible on the projection screen.
  • Blank button — Shows a black screen on the projection without deselecting the current verse. Useful during prayer or transitions.
  • Clear Live — Removes all content from the projection and returns to an empty screen.

Tip: The preview panel at the bottom of the operator screen shows exactly what will be projected. Always check the rendering there before going Live.

Multi-Version Display

Display up to 3 Bible versions side by side on the projection screen, letting your congregation compare translations.

  1. Click the "+" button next to the version selector to add an additional version.
  2. Select the desired version from the dropdown that appears.
  3. Repeat to add a third version (maximum 3).
  4. To remove a version, click the x button next to it.

Versions display in side-by-side columns on the projection screen. Text is automatically resized to fit the available space.

Search

The search bar automatically detects the query type and uses the most suitable mode.

  • Reference search — Type a reference like "John 3:16" or "Ps 23:1". Direct navigation to the verse.
  • Keyword search — FTS5 indexing (SQLite Full-Text Search). Results in under 10 ms. Search for exact words or phrases.
  • AI semantic search — Search by themes and concepts (e.g., "love your neighbor", "forgiveness"). Uses vector embeddings to find verses related by meaning rather than exact words. Response time: 50-200 ms.

Pro — AI semantic search is reserved for Pro subscriptions. Reference and keyword search are available to all users.

Custom Verses

Save verses to a quick-access list for easy retrieval during the service. This list persists across chapters and sessions.

  • Right-click a verse to add it to the quick-access list.
  • Search results can be added directly from the results list.
  • AI voice transcription automatically adds detected references to the list.
  • Click a verse in the list to navigate to it and project it.

Tip: Prepare your verses in the quick-access list before the service. You can then switch between verses with a single click.
