For wards, branches & stakes
Captions for every
voice in your ward
Real-time bilingual captions for sacrament meeting, stake conference, ward council, and any Sunday gathering. The Latter-day Saint glossary — Padre Celestial, Sociedad de Socorro, Cuórum de Élderes — is built in, so doctrinal terms come out the way the Church renders them.
Sunday-ready in
under a minute.
One operator, one laptop, the chapel's existing PA. That's it.
Plug in the pulpit mic
A laptop in the clerk's office, an audio cable from the building's PA system, and a Chrome browser. Most wards already have everything they need.
Press start & share the link
Captions begin within seconds. Share a link with Spanish-speaking members or project the QR code on a back-of-chapel screen.
Members read on their phones
Each member picks their language and font size. The same link works for stake conference, ward council, fast and testimony — anything with a mic.
The LDS glossary
"Heavenly Father" — not a literal mistranslation.
Generic translation engines turn LDS English into something members don't recognize. CaptionCast applies a curated glossary of doctrinal terms before and after the model so the Spanish your Spanish-speakers hear is the Spanish the Church publishes.
We built it for Latter-day Saint wards specifically — but it works just as well for any congregation that wants Sunday-vocabulary handled with care.

Early access
Built for sacrament meetings, tested in them
CaptionCast is in early access and is developed hands-on with Latter-day Saint wards and stakes — the built-in LDS glossary ("Padre Celestial," "Sociedad de Socorro," "Cuórum de Élderes") exists because getting doctrinal vocabulary right was the first requirement, not an afterthought.

Questions wards ask first
Practical answers, not legal boilerplate.
Will it translate doctrinal terms correctly?
Yes — that's the whole point of the LDS glossary. "Heavenly Father" becomes "Padre Celestial," "the Atonement" becomes "la Expiación," "sacrament meeting" becomes "reunión sacramental." The glossary is applied before and after the translation model to keep doctrinal terms consistent with the Church's own renderings. As with any live transcription, we recommend a quick review of exported transcripts before republishing them.
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 building's amplifier. A USB audio interface ($20–40) bridges that into the laptop. Wireless mics work too, but a wired pulpit feed is the most reliable.
Is it appropriate to use during a sacred meeting?
That's a decision for your bishopric or stake presidency — but the experience is unobtrusive. Members read silently on their own phones; nothing displays at the front of the chapel unless you want it to. Several wards use it through the entire meeting block, including the sacrament itself.
Is the audio recorded?
Audio and transcripts are stored so members who missed the meeting 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.
