Short answer: EasyWorship is a simple, volunteer-friendly presentation app with 90+ Bible translations, but a volunteer still has to find and show each verse. Pewbeam detects verses from the sermon automatically, even paraphrased ones, follows worship lyrics line by line and sends its output into EasyWorship over NDI.
