Captions hear sounds, not meaning. A pastor’s surname, a ministry’s name or a town nobody outside your area has heard of will come out wrong until you tell the system to expect it. Doing that once, before the service, fixes it every week.
Everything here lives in Live Translation → Settings → Captions, and applies to your whole church.
Custom vocabulary
- Under Custom vocabulary, click Manage vocabulary.
- Add the names, places and terms the captions should get right — the speakers’ names, your church and its ministries, local places, and the Bible names you use often.
- Click Save as preset so that every new session in that language starts with these terms.
- Terms belong to a language. When a language has none of its own, the terms saved for auto-detect are used instead.
- Add the words as they are written, not how they sound.
- Keep the list to what you actually say. A shorter, accurate list works better than a long one.
Event context
Event context is a short description of this particular event: the topic, the series, and guest speakers’ names. It helps captions get names and topics right. Write it in the spoken language or in English. Generate event context asks you a few short questions and writes it for you — only the topic is required.
Translation glossary
Vocabulary fixes what is heard; the glossary fixes what is translated. If your setup shows Translation glossary, use Manage glossary to say how a term must come out in each translated language — the name of a ministry, a theological word a general translator gets wrong.
Speed against accuracy
Subtitle delay, also under Captions, sets how long captions wait before a phrase is settled. A longer delay means fewer corrections on screen; a shorter one means words appear sooner. The recommended setting is marked on the slider.
