Live translated captions

Everyone hears in their own tongue.

OwnTongue turns a speaker's words into live translated captions on every listener's own phone — and on the TV at the front of the room. No headsets, no interpreter booth, no app to install. Speak naturally; everyone reads along in real time, each in their own language, no matter how many show up.

How it works

Set up your first session in minutes

1

Start a session

Open a session from any laptop. Live transcription starts in your browser — nothing to install. Need the microphone closer to the speaker? Pair a phone as the mic and keep monitoring from your seat.

2

Share a join code

Listeners scan a code or type a short link on their own phone. No account, no download, no setup for the audience.

3

Read along, live

Each listener picks their language — Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and more — and reads translated captions in real time, at their own seat, on their own screen.

Built for belonging

Rooms where everyone belongs

The same simple session works anywhere people gather — sacred or civic.

Multilingual congregations

Bilingual and immigrant congregations stop splitting services by language — one room, one message, every language at once.

Classrooms & civic meetings

Parent nights, school assemblies, town halls, and council sessions where every family can follow and take part.

Parishes

Serve a multilingual parish from one pulpit. Homilies and announcements reach every pew in the listener's first language.

Wards & stakes

Visiting families and new members follow the whole meeting — services, classes, and conferences — without pulling anyone aside.

Honest by design

Trust, built in

Audio is never stored

Speech is transcribed live and discarded. No recordings, no voiceprints. Read more on our security page.

Clear about machine output

Every session can open with a disclaimer slate: captions are machine-generated and may contain errors — the original speaker is authoritative.

Priced for one room, not an enterprise

Plans start free, and paid plans fit a single congregation's, classroom's, or council's budget — with unlimited listeners on every plan. Simple monthly pricing — cancel anytime.
