Circle, underline and annotate the text like ink on paper — then hand the room a link. The projector in the booth, the iPad in your hand, every laptop in the class: each one follows your ink the moment you draw it. They see the passage and the markings. They never see your toolbar.
Free while in beta · Nothing for them to install · KJV, WEB & ASV included
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
If you’ve ever taught with a marked-up page in your hand and wished the room could see it the way you see it — this is that.
Click any word. A Bible dictionary entry and every other place it appears in Scripture, with counts and clickable references — built in and instant. No tabs, no lookups, no losing your place.
Pen, highlighter, circles, arrows, margin notes — and inductive-study symbols with one click. Every mark anchors to its words, not the screen: resize the text and the ink follows.
The audience screen shows the passage and your ink — never the toolbar. Step through your markings one at a time with a clicker, blackout instantly, or draw live while the room watches the text open up.
Tap Go Live and you get a short link and a QR code. Anything with a browser that opens it becomes a second screen — a projector, a laptop, a phone — following your markup in real time. There is nothing for them to install and no account for them to make. Plugged into a projector instead? The audience window just works there too.
Only you can drive the screen. The watch code lets people follow; it can’t take the room from you.
Teach from an iPad with a Pencil, standing where you actually stand. The booth opens the link once on the machine that drives the projector, and the screen behind you follows every mark you make. No cable to the pulpit, nobody cueing slides, no one to nod at.
Put the QR code on the wall and let the room scan it. Each person follows the passage on their own laptop, at their own size — no projector to fight, no back row squinting, nothing for anyone to download.
The link doesn’t care where it’s opened. The overflow room, the nursery volunteer, the member who couldn’t make it — same passage, same ink, same moment.
Watchers open a link in the browser they already have. No app store, no account, no sign-in — just the passage and your markings.
Studies save on your machine, back up to a single file, and export as high-res images for handouts. No lock-in, ever.
KJV, WEB, and ASV ship today (public domain). NASB, NKJV, ESV and LSB are on the roadmap as licensing allows.
The whole tool, while it’s being built. No card required.
Sign up or sign in with your email — no password to remember. The same box does both.
Your studies sync to your account so they follow you from the desk to the pulpit.
They open a link, or scan the QR code you put on the wall. That’s the whole setup — any browser, any device, no install and no account for the person watching. Up to 200 screens can follow one session.
No. Driving the screen needs a secret key that only your presenting device holds, and it never appears in the link you hand out. Someone with the watch code can follow along; they cannot push anything to the room.
Live screens need the network — they’re crossing devices, so there’s no way around that. Your own screen keeps working regardless, because the text is already on your device, and a projector on a cable keeps working with it. When the connection comes back, watchers reconnect on their own and catch up to where you are.
KJV, World English Bible, and American Standard Version — all public domain, all bundled. Licensed translations (NASB 1995, NKJV, and hopefully the ESV and LSB) are in progress; those publishers license their text individually, so they’ll arrive as the agreements are signed, and they’ll need a connection.
They follow. Marks anchor to the words — circle “obey” and it stays on “obey” through any reflow. Freehand pen strokes are the one exception; they stay where you drew them.
Yes, and it’s the setup this was built for — including Apple Pencil with pressure. Teach from the iPad on the platform and open the Go Live link once on the booth’s computer; the projector follows you from across the room. M-series iPads can also drive a screen over a cable with Stage Manager. We’re polishing touch ergonomics; tell us what feels off.
No. Studies live on your device, export to a single backup file you can restore anywhere, and passages export as images. If you stop using Marked Word, you lose nothing you made.
A teacher of the Word who wanted this tool to exist and is building it in the open. It’s free while it’s in beta, and I’d rather hear that something is broken than have you be polite about it.
