@smartversesv1.3 — Shipped March 2026
Paraphrase detection engine, rebuilt
Our second-generation detector now catches paraphrased Scripture in real time — even when the speaker reorders clauses, swaps translations mid-sentence, or quotes from memory.
Match accuracy jumped to 96.4% on our internal sermon corpus, with average detection latency under 800ms from spoken word to on-screen verse.
