Accessibility in the mosque

Mosque captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing worshippers

Use live captions to make khutbahs and mosque programs easier to follow for deaf and hard-of-hearing attendees.

Live captions are not only a translation feature. They can also support accessibility for worshippers who cannot hear the sermon clearly.

Bayaan can show captions on individual phones or shared displays, depending on what the mosque community needs.

Captions in shared spaces

Use display mode for attendees who benefit from seeing captions on a larger screen.

Private captions on phones

Listeners can follow from their own device when that is more comfortable or practical.

Useful for noisy rooms too

Captions can also help in overflow rooms, community halls, and spaces with difficult audio.

questions

Questions about mosque captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing worshippers

What is live khutba translation?

Live khutba translation means the imam speech is transcribed and translated while the Friday sermon is being delivered, so worshippers can read captions in their own language.

Is there an app that translates Friday sermons in real time?

Yes. Bayaan provides real-time Friday sermon translation for mosques. The mosque starts the session, and listeners join by QR code or link without installing an app.

How can a mosque translate a khutbah live?

The mosque creates a Bayaan room, starts the live session, and shares a QR code or public link. Bayaan captures the sermon audio, generates live captions, translates them, and displays them on phones or mosque screens.

Does Bayaan require listeners to install an app?

No. Listeners follow the khutbah translation in their browser. They scan a QR code or open a link, choose their language, and read the captions live.

Which languages does Bayaan support?

Bayaan supports 50+ languages, including English, Dutch, Urdu, Turkish, Arabic, French, German, Somali, Bengali, Indonesian, Spanish, and more.

Can Bayaan translate an Arabic khutbah into Dutch, Urdu, or Turkish?

Yes. Bayaan can support Arabic khutbah translation into Dutch, Urdu, Turkish, English, French, German, and many other languages depending on the mosque setup.
