Run the first live test
- Create a test event named clearly, such as Sunday 11am Test.
- Start with Fast transcription mode and browser-default audio processing.
- Open the attendee page on a phone before speaking into the source microphone.
- Choose a non-English language on the phone so you verify the full translation path.
- Stop the stream deliberately at the end and check the transcript export.
Before Sunday
Do not first test this during the sermon
Run a two-minute test in the room before the service. Most issues are audio input selection, gain, Wi-Fi, or choosing the wrong microphone.
