CaptionKit is a real-time captioning and translation platform built for churches that want multilingual and hard-of-hearing people to follow the service as it happens.^1 A church starts a session from the web, and people join on any device through a shared link or QR code, or through the free iOS and Android apps.^1^3 The apps add spoken captions through headphones or Bluetooth hearing aids, plus adjustable type and light or dark mode.^1
The platform understands sermons in over 70 languages and can translate into more than 85.^1 Captions can sit in a lower third, fill a dedicated accessibility screen, or use a custom layout, and they plug into ProPresenter, OBS, and vMix.^1 Teams can boost names and locations, filter profanity, review session history, and automate streams with cURL, Bitfocus Companion, or ProPresenter.^1 A native Mac app for Apple Silicon is in early access, so a Sunday team can run captions without keeping a browser tab open.^4
Hundreds of churches already use it.^1 After a free trial, plans are subscription-based with no lock-in contract.^1 James Hunt in Australia develops CaptionKit.^3
