Phones work, and plenty of people prefer them. But not everyone wants to hold a lit screen through a service, and not everyone has a phone to hold. MulingDisplay puts the translation on the screen the room is already looking at.
When translation only lives on phones, the people who need it are the people looking down. On a screen, everybody is looking at the same place, which is a quieter kind of inclusion.
Older guests, children, somebody whose battery died, somebody who left it at home. A screen asks nothing of anybody. They just read it.
If the words are up there for everybody, needing them is not a signal. The person who reads them and the person who ignores them look exactly the same.
Nothing to hand out at the door, nothing to collect at the end, nothing to charge on Saturday night, nothing that goes missing.
Split the screen into as many as four zones. Each zone does its own job, and you decide what goes where.
There is no hardware to buy and nothing to rent. If a browser can reach the screen, it can carry MulingDisplay.
More than one screen at once is fine. A hall might run two languages on the main projector and a third on a monitor at the side, where that group tends to sit.
A dark 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.
Light text on dark for a dimmed room, dark on light for a bright one, and a colour that sits properly against what your church already projects.
Set it for the person furthest away, not the person operating the laptop. Each zone has its own size, so a busy four-way split stays readable.
Languages written right to left are laid out the way their readers expect on the screen, not mirrored and not squeezed into a layout meant for English.
All of this is included.
What your guests see on their own phones, if they would rather. No app, no account, nothing to pay.
The listener’s side →
Whole sentences built from meaning, which matters more on a big screen where everyone can see a bad one.
How it translates →
Names and places stay intact. On a screen the whole room is reading, that is not a small thing.
Lock a word →
Nearly every language on the list can be read as captions, which is what a screen shows. Look up the ones your room needs.

No. You need a screen and something to drive it, which for most rooms is the laptop already running the songs. There is no box to buy, nothing to rent, and no receivers to hand out.
Many rooms run MulingDisplay on a second screen so the main projector keeps doing what it always did. If you only have one screen, a zone can sit under the slides. Talk to us about your room and we will tell you honestly what will look best in it.
No. MulingDisplay is included. It is a second way of showing the same session, not a second thing to pay for.
Yes, at the same time. Put the joining code in one zone and anybody who prefers their own screen, or wants to listen with a voice in their ear rather than read, can join in a few seconds.
In the room, on the Displays tab. Create a display, then open Edit to choose the layout, the zones, the colours and the text size. If it is not showing in your account, tell us and we turn it on with you.
How big, how bright, how many screens, how many languages. We will tell you what will work in it, and set it up with you.
