For worship & churches

Live captions & translation for worship services

When the sermon is in one language, half the congregation waits for the recap. Lyric Show Live captions what’s actually said and translates it into two languages at once — on the screen the room is already watching.

Free in the browser with English/Spanish live captioning — no install, no card.

The room shouldn’t split by language

Half the congregation loses the sermon in translation

Live translation shows up to two languages at once, alongside the original. The English speakers, the Spanish speakers, and everyone in between follow the same message in the same moment.

Slide software can’t hear

ProPresenter-class tools run $399 and show slides someone prepared in advance. Lyric Show Live starts at $14.99/mo and captions what’s actually said — including every unscripted moment. Keep the slides for the songs; let the captions carry the sermon.

The sanctuary has no signal

Basements, metal roofs, Sunday-morning Wi-Fi under load — none of it matters. Once language packs are downloaded, speech recognition and translation run fully offline on the device.

The AV team is volunteers

No console, no install. It runs in a browser tab or on a phone. Set it up during the week, run it from the booth laptop on Sunday — one account covers iOS, Android, and the web.

How it works

1

Pick your languages

Open lyricshow.live on the booth laptop or a phone and choose the sermon language plus up to two translations.

2

Put it on the house screen

Fullscreen stage display, light or dark theme, straight onto the projector or LED wall.

3

Preach

Captions and both translations land on screen with sub-second latency, word by word or phrase by phrase.

Common questions

Does it work without internet in the sanctuary?

Yes. Once language packs are downloaded, speech recognition and translation run fully offline on the device. Base includes 20 downloadable languages; the Extended Languages add-on ($9.99/mo) or Ultimate unlocks all 80.

How is this different from ProPresenter or EasyWorship?

Those tools display slides prepared in advance — they can’t hear the room. Lyric Show Live listens and captions what’s actually said, live, and translates it into up to two languages at once. Many churches run both: slides for songs, live captions for the sermon.

What does it cost?

Base is $14.99/mo or $99.99/yr and covers live captioning, two-language translation, 20 offline languages, and all seven display styles. No per-seat or per-service fees, and one subscription works across iPhone, Android, and the web.

How accurate are the captions and translations?

It’s automatic speech recognition and machine translation. Results are strong in normal speaking conditions and vary with accents, noise, and music. It’s not a substitute for a human interpreter — it’s the live support that’s there every single service.
