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.

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.

FAQ
Questions wards ask first
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Audio and transcripts are stored so members who missed the meeting can read or replay later. Audio recordings are deleted automatically 90 days after they're recorded (sooner if you set a shorter retention limit). Transcripts are kept until you delete the meeting or your retention limit removes them. Audio is encrypted in transit and at rest. 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. See our privacy policy for details.
