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.
Free trial tier — no card required. Works in any modern browser.
An illustration of the listener's screen — captions update live as the speaker talks.
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.
Listeners scan a code or type a short link on their own phone. No account, no download, no setup for the audience.
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.
The same simple session works anywhere people gather — sacred or civic.
Bilingual and immigrant congregations stop splitting services by language — one room, one message, every language at once.
Parent nights, school assemblies, town halls, and council sessions where every family can follow and take part.
Serve a multilingual parish from one pulpit. Homilies and announcements reach every pew in the listener's first language.
Visiting families and new members follow the whole meeting — services, classes, and conferences — without pulling anyone aside.
Speech is transcribed live and discarded. No recordings, no voiceprints. Read more on our security page.
Every session can open with a disclaimer slate: captions are machine-generated and may contain errors — the original speaker is authoritative.
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.
