About
Built so one mother could hear
the sermon again.
Live Caption AI started because a mother lost her hearing and stopped going to church. The family tried hearing aids, FM loops, sound systems with extra amplification — nothing worked well enough for her to follow a 20-minute sermon. After a year of "I'll just stay home," her son built a phone app that put real-time captions in her hand during the service.
Within a few weeks, other members of the congregation were asking to use it. Then a different church. Then an event producer who'd been quoted $1,400 for a single half-day of stenographer time. We realized the problem wasn't a technology problem — speech-to-text has been good enough for years. The problem was that nobody had built a tool you could actually plug in, set up in five minutes, and hand to the person who needs it.
So we did.

The phone in your pocket is the encoder.
A $8 TRRS cable, the phone you already own, and a QR code. That's the whole setup.
