FAQ
Answers before
you ask.
How accurate is the translation?
Deepgram Nova-3 transcription with GPT translation. Accuracy is highest with a clear mic signal and a single speaker; latency is typically 2–5 seconds end-to-end.
What languages do you support?
CaptionCast supports 12 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi. Every translation pair routes through English — for example, Spanish → French is handled Spanish → English → French. Pick the direction for each meeting on the control panel.
Do I need special hardware?
No. CaptionCast runs entirely in the browser — Chrome or Edge recommended. A laptop's built-in mic works; a wired lavalier or a direct PA line-out gives the cleanest captions.
How does the cost work for a 100-person room?
CaptionCast bills by minutes streamed, not by viewer — so price-per-attendee shrinks as your room grows. For a 100-person room:
- A $19 Growth Pack (500 minutes — roughly seven weekly services) works out to ~$0.03 / person across those events.
- A $49 Pro Pack (1,500 minutes) works out to ~$0.02 / person across a full season of events.
For nonprofits, churches, and accessibility teams that need to justify the line item, that's typically less than the cost of one printed program.
What happens when my minutes run out?
Only time with the mic actively recording counts. Your current balance and usage are visible at /org/usage. When your minutes run out, captioning pauses until you buy another pack — your existing transcripts and recordings stay accessible either way, and new minutes are available the moment the purchase completes.
Can attendees view captions on their phones?
Yes. Share the display URL or project the QR code. Attendees open it in any browser — no app install needed. Each viewer can pick their own language (on multi-language meetings), their own font size, and their own theme.
Can I record the session for later playback?
Every active meeting records its raw audio and transcript. After the meeting ends, open
/meetings/:id/playback
to play the audio back with the captions synced. Transcripts can also be exported from the meeting detail page.
Is there an iOS or Android app?
Not yet. Viewers use any mobile browser — there's nothing to install. Operators use a laptop or desktop browser (Chrome or Edge) because CaptionCast needs WebAudio access to the mic.
