CaptionKit allows you to translate captions in real-time. This is great for multilingual congregations or for events with international audiences.
While we process translations as quickly as possible, translated text may be delayed by 1-2 seconds compared to captions in the original language.
Choose your output languages
Captions will always be available in the original language of the speaker. To enable additional translations, follow these steps:
Open Broadcast controls in the CaptionKit Dashboard
Find the Translations section
Select your preferred languages from language popup
When you start your stream, captions will be translated and streamed in your selected language
Audio translations
Translations can also be read aloud in natural-sounding voices, so listeners can hear the service in their language with headphones. Turn on audio for a language with the headphones icon next to it. See Audio translations for setup, pricing and your free trial hours.

If you have turned on translations for your stream, these can be chosen on your live caption page or app
