For churches, parishes & congregations
Make Sunday accessible
to every voice.
Real-time bilingual captions for the worship service, the sermon, prayer meeting, or any gathering. Spanish-speaking attendees, Deaf and hard-of-hearing members, and visitors all follow along on their own phones.
Sunday-ready in
under a minute.
One operator, one laptop, the sanctuary's existing sound system. That's it.
Tap into your sound system
A laptop in the sound booth or office, an audio cable from the soundboard, and a Chrome browser. Most churches already have everything they need.
Press start & share the link
Captions begin within seconds. Share a link in the bulletin, send it through your church app, or project a QR code on a sanctuary screen.
Members read on their phones
Each attendee picks their language and font size. The same link works for the worship service, prayer meeting, Bible study — anything with a microphone.
Three audiences, one tool
Built for the people in your pews who can't hear, can't catch every word, or don't speak English.
CaptionCast is one link, three audiences. Spanish-speaking attendees read the sermon in Spanish. Deaf and hard-of-hearing members read it in English. Visitors and seniors who like to follow along bump up the font size and quietly read what was said.
Nothing distracts from the front of the sanctuary. Phones stay quiet. The only thing that changes is who can fully participate.

Are you a Latter-day Saint ward or stake?
We have a separate page with the LDS glossary — Padre Celestial, Sociedad de Socorro, Cuórum de Élderes — and pricing math built around sacrament meeting and stake conference.
Early access
Built alongside real congregations
CaptionCast is in early access and is shaped every week by the churches that run it on Sundays — Spanish-speaking members following the sermon on their phones, hard-of-hearing members reading along from the pew. Your feedback goes straight to the roadmap.

Questions churches ask first
Practical answers, not legal boilerplate.
Is it appropriate to use during a worship service?
That's a decision for your pastor or leadership, but the experience is unobtrusive. Members read silently on their own phones; nothing displays at the front of the sanctuary unless you want it to. Many churches run captions through the entire service — sermon, scripture readings, announcements.
What hardware do we need?
A laptop running Chrome or Edge, plus a clean audio source. The cleanest signal comes from a 1/4" or 3.5mm line-out from the soundboard or auxiliary mixer. A USB audio interface ($20–40) bridges that into the laptop. Wireless lavaliers work too, but a wired feed is the most reliable.
Will it translate religious vocabulary correctly?
Generally, yes — the underlying translation model handles standard church vocabulary (sermon, prayer, scripture, blessing, congregation) accurately. If your tradition has very specific doctrinal terms that need to translate consistently (the way Latter-day Saint wards need "Heavenly Father" → "Padre Celestial"), reach out — we can add a custom glossary for your tradition.
Is the audio recorded?
Audio and transcripts are stored so members who missed the service can read or replay later. You can disable recording per meeting, or delete a session at any time from the meeting detail page. Audio is encrypted in transit and at rest.
