ELL students
Spanish-speaking students read along in Spanish or in English depending on the lesson goal — switching languages is one tap, no app reinstall.
For schools & universities
Captions every
student can read.
Live captions for lectures, seminars, and assemblies. Helps multilingual students follow along, supports accessibility-required accommodations, and turns every lecture into a searchable transcript.
- Lecture transcripts as study guides
- Multilingual classrooms in 12 languages
- Section-504 / IEP friendly
14:02:11 EN Today we will look at how plants turn light into energy.

The classroom laptop you already have. The classroom mic the teacher already uses.

Teacher opens the meeting
One bookmark in the classroom browser. Press start at the top of the period. Captions begin within seconds — projected at the front, or read on student devices.
-
Students follow along
Multilingual students pick their own language. ELL students read English alongside Spanish. Students with auditory accommodations read on their iPad without singling themselves out.
-
Class ends — transcript stays
Every lecture becomes a searchable, exportable transcript. Students who missed class get caught up; students preparing for finals re-read the explanation in their own time.
Every student gets the lecture in the language that helps most.
Students with IEP/504 accommodations
Live captions on the classroom screen or on the student's own iPad. Transcript afterward. Documented in the accommodation record.
Lecture review
Every lecture becomes a study guide. Students can search for a term ("photosynthesis," "Fourier") and find the exact passage where it was explained.
Assemblies & school events
Project the QR code at school assemblies. Parents whose first language isn't English can follow live on their phones — no headset to lose, no special signup.
Parent-teacher conferences
Bilingual parent meetings without scheduling an interpreter. Stays bilingual; both sides get the transcript.
Special-education team meetings
IEP meetings recorded with consent. Transcript captures every commitment in writing — fewer disputes about who said what.
Early access
Built with educators in the loop
CaptionCast is in early access and is shaped by the classrooms that use it — multilingual students following a lecture in their own language, and students with hearing accommodations reading along in real time.
Try it free — 15 minutes on signup, no card needed. Early-access feedback goes straight to the top of the roadmap.
Per-classroom math, no monthly commitment.
A 50-minute period, five days a week = ~1,000 minutes a month. One Pro Pack at $49 covers a full month per classroom; one $19 Growth Pack covers a special-needs student through finals. Credits don't expire, so a one-time pilot still costs the same as a regular school year.

FAQ
School & classroom FAQ
Audio and transcripts are stored on your organization's account and always sent over encrypted connections. Audio recordings are deleted automatically 90 days after they're recorded, or sooner if your organization sets a shorter retention limit; transcripts stay until you delete them or your retention limit removes them. Our speech-to-text provider, Deepgram, receives the live audio; its standard terms let it keep that audio and use it to improve its speech models. Display links are public by URL — for sensitive sessions (special-ed meetings, etc.) keep the link private and delete after the accommodation period. We never sell lecture audio or transcripts. See our privacy policy for details.
Deepgram Nova-3 handles general English well. For specialized terminology — proper nouns, foreign loanwords, technical jargon — feed Deepgram a list of keyterms before each meeting and they'll be recognized correctly. Many districts share a keyterm list across teachers.
Up to teachers and school policy. Most classrooms project the captions at the front; teachers who allow personal devices can also share the QR code so students who need accommodations read privately. Either path is the same product.
Not directly today. Transcripts export as TXT or JSON, which most LMSes (Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom) accept as attachments. Direct LMS integration is on our roadmap — reach out if it would unblock you.
