Large, readable captions on the sanctuary screen, full screen on the display you choose, while the operator keeps full controls.

▱

Bright text on black for your video switcher's luma key, so livestream viewers see the captions too.

Subtitles saved

Every session is saved in its own folder as an .srt file, ready for the recording and the archive.

From LiveGospel's own usage data, November 2026. High performance needs 48 GB of memory. Advanced gives the best meaning on 16 GB; Standard is fastest, with less accurate captions. Recognizing each line adds 0.6–1.1 s before translation starts.

After the service

The Subtitle Editor.
Included with LiveGospel.

Check the saved subtitles against the video, fix any line, and save a corrected .srt for the recording. Corrections you choose to send help LiveGospel hear and translate your church's words better next time.

Watch and check

The video plays next to its subtitles, and the line being spoken is highlighted. Click any time to play from there.

Correct in place

Double-click a line to fix it. The original file is never changed; a corrected copy is saved beside it.

Finds the video for you

Open a LiveGospel subtitle file and the recording or video it was made from opens with it.
