Add automatic verse detection to FreeShow.
FreeShow is excellent, a free, open-source church presentation suite for songs, slides and manual scripture. But it's manual: it doesn't listen to your preacher and put the verse up on its own. TajiCast does exactly that. Here's the honest difference, and how the two can work together.

Use them together
These tools solve different problems, so many churches run both. Keep FreeShow for your songs, lyrics and planned slides, and add TajiCast for the moments the preacher opens the Bible off-script, so the verse appears automatically without anyone typing. TajiCast outputs over NDI and to a second screen, so it slots into your existing setup alongside FreeShow.
Why add TajiCast
Automatic, hands-free
Detects the verse being read or referenced in real time, no operator hunting for the reference mid-sermon.
Paraphrase-aware
Recognizes the passage even when it's paraphrased, not just exact quotations.
Free & offline
Like FreeShow, it costs nothing, and it runs without internet, with the Bible and model bundled in.
