Church Translate, as it runs at the campuses

Live sermon translation into 100+ languages, running entirely on one Mac per
campus: audio in, voice detection, Whisper on the GPU, NLLB-200 in its own
process, and a built-in web server the congregation reads from on their
phones. No audio leaves the building.

This is the source only. What used to sit beside it — 14 GB of speech and
translation models, 8 GB of voice bundles, 6 GB of natural voices, the Electron
caches, and the app data holding the operator PIN and every service transcript
— is machine state and downloaded assets, and stays in the NAS backup where it
belongs. The vendored node, cloudflared and Windows ffmpeg binaries are out too
(533 MB, re-fetched for packaging); the browser-side runtime beside them is
kept, so a checkout still serves the congregation page.
