LiveCaption listens to your microphone, transcribes and translates the sermon in about a second, and shows captions on the screen you choose — projector, TV or live stream. One computer and a microphone. Nothing else to install in the sanctuary.
No card required for the free hours. Windows and Mac.
Multilingual congregations, international members and guests, second-generation families, mission conferences and live-stream viewers.
English, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Tagalog and more — choose the spoken language and the caption language.
Each sentence appears as soon as it's spoken. Same-language captions show exactly what was said, with recognition errors fixed.
Captions overlay a projector, a TV or several monitors at once, or an OBS capture for your live stream.
Load the sermon manuscript or slides (PDF, Word, text). When the preacher reads from it, captions follow its exact wording. The file stays on your computer.
Add names, places and key terms before the service for more accurate recognition. You can change them while live.
Silence pauses automatically, so only time with captions actually running counts against your hours.
Version 1.0.2. The app tells you when a new version is available; your settings are kept when you update.
