How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist CaptionKit when providing live captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing attendees during services or events matters most, and Lingopal when enabling multilingual meetings and esl conversations between teachers, students, and parents via rooms matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

CaptionKit is a browser-based platform that produces live, AI-generated captions and translations during spoken sessions, designed primarily for churches and other faith-based organizations serving deaf, hard-of-hearing, and multilingual audiences. A host starts a captioning session from the web dashboard, and the system transcribes speech in 65+ languages and translates it into 85+ languages, including a bilingual English and Spanish mode. Attendees follow along by joining a shared web link or QR code, or through the free iOS and Android apps; captions can also be displayed on screen as lower-third overlays or full-screen scrolling text. It integrates with common presentation and streaming software including ProPresenter, OBS, vMix, FreeShow, and Worship Extreme, and supports automation via cURL and Bitfocus Companion. Accuracy can be improved with boosted keywords for names and uncommon terms, and the platform records session history. No installation is required, making it suited to live in-person or streamed events where on-screen accessibility and language access matter.

Lingopal is an AI translation platform that converts spoken audio into other languages in real time while transcribing and captioning it. Its core technology performs speech-to-speech translation with voice cloning that preserves the original speaker's tone and emotion, alongside live captions and editable transcripts. Beyond its main use in live broadcast and streaming (sports, news, events), Lingopal offers a "Rooms" product that turns meetings into multilingual conversations with live voice translation for one-on-one and group settings, and a separate Call product (call.lingopal.ai) that translates phone calls in real time with live transcript and audio. The platform supports a large set of languages (over 100 across its products, with a smaller subset on the call product) and ingests common broadcast formats such as RTMP, HLS, SRT, and MP4, plus API-based workflows. Typical glass-to-glass latency is roughly 2.5 to 4 seconds. It targets broadcast teams, networks, educational institutions engaging ESL students and parents, faith organizations, and enterprises needing cross-language voice communication.
