Searching Tips

• Type full references: "John 3:16"

AI Scripture Detection

The most powerful way to display scriptures is with AI detection:

1. Enable AI detection by clicking the AI button in the toolbar
2. As the pastor mentions scriptures during the sermon, they appear in the AI Queue
3. Review each detection — a green confidence indicator means high accuracy
4. Click Go Live on any detection to send it to the display instantly
