Churches that want to serve multilingual or hard-of-hearing members often struggle to find affordable, reliable live translation. LiveSunday solves this with AI-powered real-time captions and translations delivered straight to attendees' phones — no special hardware or app download required.^1
Founded by a church media volunteer who built the tool for his own understaffed congregation, LiveSunday understands speakers in 60+ source languages and translates captions into 120+ target languages with low latency. Attendees scan a QR code or tap a link to follow along in their preferred language on any smartphone or tablet. The platform also integrates with presentation and streaming software like OBS, ProPresenter, vMix, EasyWorship, and MediaShout, so captions and translations can appear on venue projectors and live video streams.^2
The AI Sermon Keyword Booster feature lets churches upload sermon notes to improve transcription accuracy for names, places, and theological terms. Full session transcript history and analytics are available after each service.^1 On the Advanced plan, attendees can also hear the translation read aloud through headphones, and churches can automate sessions through an API.^1 While churches are the primary audience, LiveSunday also serves conferences, corporate events, and education settings, extending real-time captioning and translation to any live setting.^3 The first two hours are free, with pay-as-you-go and subscription plans after that.^1
