Not everybody in the room has a phone in their hand, and not everybody wants one there. MulingDisplay puts the live translation of the sermon on the screen your church already has: the projector, a TV at the side, the monitor in the foyer. The whole room reads it together.
Phones are a wonderful way to follow a sermon in another language. A guest scans a code, picks a language, and listens or reads along without anyone around them needing to know. But a phone is a private thing, and not everybody in the room has one in their hand.
There is the grandmother who left hers at home. The teenager whose battery died during worship. The child who is too young for a phone. The guest who feels uneasy holding a lit screen through a service, because where they grew up, a phone out during the sermon was a sign of disrespect. And there is the member who is hard of hearing, who understands the language perfectly well and still misses half the words when the sound in the hall is not quite right.
For all of them, the answer is already on the wall: the screen your church uses for songs, slides and announcements. That is why we built MulingDisplay.
MulingDisplay puts the live translation of what is being said on a screen the whole room can see. The pastor speaks, and the words appear as captions in the language you choose while the sermon is still being preached. There is nothing to download, nothing to hand out at the door and nothing to collect at the end.
It works on any screen a browser can reach: the projector you already use for worship songs, a television on a stand at the side of the hall, a second monitor at the back facing a particular group, or the foyer screen for the people who arrive late. If you have ever wondered how to show the translation on a TV during the sermon, this is the whole of it: open the display link on the computer that drives that screen, and it fills with live captions. You can read more on the MulingDisplay page.
When translation only lives on phones, the people who need it are the people looking down. On a screen, everybody looks at the same place. The person who reads the captions and the person who ignores them look exactly the same, so needing the translation is no longer a signal to the rest of the room. We think of it as a quieter kind of welcome.
It also serves people you might not think of first. Captions in the language being preached help a member who is hard of hearing just as much as the translation helps a guest. A screen asks nothing of anybody. They simply read it.
A phone is a private thing. A screen is a shared one.
A display can be split into as many as four zones, and each zone does its own job. One zone can carry the language being preached, another a translation, another a joining code, so that anybody who would rather have the words on their own phone can join in seconds. Every zone has its own text size and colour, so the small screen at the back and the large one at the front can both be right.
Languages written right to left, such as Persian and Arabic, are laid out the way their readers expect, not mirrored and not squeezed into a layout made for English. You can also run more than one screen at once: a hall might show captions on the main projector and another language on a monitor at the side, where that group usually sits.
A dimmed sanctuary and a bright school hall need different settings, and a screen ten metres away needs bigger text than one at the back of a small chapel. So you choose light text on dark for a dark room, dark text on light for a bright one, and you set the text size for the person furthest away, not for the person at the laptop.
Adding a display happens in your room, on the Displays tab: add a display, choose the layout and the zones, pick the colours and the text size, and open the display link on the computer connected to the screen. If you do not see the Displays tab in your account, tell us and we turn it on with you.
Many churches run MulingDisplay on a second screen, so the main projector keeps doing what it always did. If you have only one screen, a zone can sit underneath the slides. Phones keep working alongside it: the guest who wants to hear a voice in their own language, or follow on their own screen, joins exactly as before. The screen and the phones show the same session, and MulingDisplay is included, not a second thing to pay for.
The captions are only as good as the translation behind them, and on a screen the whole room reads, that matters even more. MulingDisplay shows the same Smart Translation your guests hear on their phones, whole sentences built from meaning rather than words swapped one by one, with names kept intact by Keywords.
Two things arrived on 19 June 2026.
The Joining Guide. A display can now show how to join instead of captions. The room's QR code, its name and your logo stay fixed on the screen, while the instructions underneath fade from one language to the next, in the languages you choose. Put it up before the service and during the welcome, and guests learn how to follow along without anyone explaining it from the front. More about the guest's side is on how it works for listeners.
A transparent background for streaming. A display can now be a transparent layer, so the streaming software your media team already uses can place the captions, or the QR code, over your slides or your camera picture. No green screen is needed, and the people watching your livestream at home can read the translation too.
Since 24 September 2026, a display can also run in Subtitles mode. Instead of a page of text that keeps moving, the screen shows only the latest lines, in one, two or three blocks, the way subtitles sit at the bottom of a film. It suits a screen that also carries a camera picture, and a room where people glance up now and then rather than read along the whole time.
MulingDisplay works with church passes. On a pass, the screen carries the language being preached and one translation pinned beside it. The screen starts showing words once the pass is counted: that happens by itself when the first listener joins on a phone, and if you want the screen running in a room where nobody is on a phone yet, you count the pass with one tap.
The quickest way to picture it is to see it running. We can show you MulingDisplay live and tell you what will work in your hall: how big, how bright, how many screens and which languages.
We show you the whole thing live, in about fifteen minutes. Nothing is decided on the call and nothing follows it: you see it, and then you are the judge.
