Live captions for church streams

Live Captions and Translation for Your Church Livestream

Send one clean sermon feed to Voco. People in the room scan a QR code while online viewers see readable captions inside your Facebook, YouTube or website stream.

One pipeline, two audiences

Translate the room and the stream together.

Voco processes the speech once, then sends the result wherever people need it. There is no second captioning workflow for the livestream and no separate translation desk for phone readers.

One sermon audio feed

Use the same clean speech mix your stream already receives.

QR readers in the room

Guests choose their language on their own phone, without an app.

Captions on the stream

A transparent browser source sits inside your existing video scene.

Works with your stack

Keep the tools your volunteers know.

A Voco display is a normal browser source. Paste its URL into the streaming software you already use, position it once and keep the scene for Sunday.

Multilingual, not just English captions

Automatic platform captions usually transcribe the speaker. Voco translates the sermon, so a Spanish, Portuguese, French or Arabic viewer can follow what was actually said.

Accessibility and reach

Readable captions support people who are deaf or hard of hearing, viewers watching quietly and international families joining from another country.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with YouTube Live and Facebook Live?

Yes. Voco appears inside OBS, vMix or Streamlabs as a browser-source overlay, so the captions are included in the video sent to YouTube, Facebook, your website or another streaming platform.

Can people in the room use translation at the same time?

Yes. One Voco service can power the livestream overlay and the QR-code phone reader together, so online and in-room attendees follow the same live sermon in the languages you enable.

Can the livestream show a different language from the room?

Yes. Each display link can use its own output language. A church can show English captions in the room, Spanish on the stream and offer additional languages on personal phones.

Will captions cover our slides or speaker?

You control the browser source position, size and theme inside your streaming software. Most churches place it as a readable lower third and save the scene for weekly reuse.

How long does setup take?

If your church already streams through OBS, vMix or Streamlabs, adding the Voco browser source normally takes about ten minutes. Test it with a real microphone before the service.
