Guide · Choosing software
Church projection software built for a Nigerian Sunday
Most presentation software is designed for a church with fast internet, a dollar card and a full-time media team. Many Nigerian churches have one laptop, a volunteer, and a projector that shares a generator with the sound system.
What actually matters on the day
- It works with no internet. The Bible and the hymnal live on the laptop, not in the cloud. A slow network cannot stall the reading.
- It survives a power cut. If the projector drops, the control room keeps running on the laptop; plug it back in, reopen the output, and the slide you were on is still selected.
- One person can run it. Arrow keys move through every slide. The volunteer watches the congregation, not the mouse.
- It is paid for once. A monthly bill in dollars is the first thing cut when offerings are thin.
What Psalter puts on the screen
- All 31,102 verses of the King James Version, searchable by the words in them.
- The DCLM Gospel Hymn Book — 252 hymns, choruses split out as their own slides — plus the ability to add any hymn or chorus your church sings.
- Your sermon notes: upload the outline as Word, PDF or text, and every scripture reference in it becomes a button that projects the verse.
- Announcements and custom slides you save once and reuse every week.
- Your church photo or logo behind the words, dimmed until the text reads from the back.
What it costs
Prices are in naira and paid once through Paystack:
- ₦25,000 — Single Church, one computer
- ₦65,000 — Multi-Campus, up to five computers
- ₦150,000 — Network, every computer in one organisation
The download is a full 14-day trial with every feature. When it ends nothing switches off — the output just carries a small mark in the corner until a key is entered, because software that goes blank mid-service is worse than software that isn’t paid for.
What you need
A laptop running Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) or macOS 12 or newer, about 500 MB of free space, and a projector or second screen. Psalter finds the projector by itself and opens the output full-screen on it.
