Every word of the khutbah,
in a language everyone understands.
BetterKhutbah turns the imam's Arabic into live captions on the screens in your hall — so every congregant can follow the khutbah in a language they understand.
- Everyone reads in their own language
- On screen in under 4 seconds
- Works with your existing sound system
How it works
A single, unbroken chain — from the imam's microphone to the words on the wall, in three steps.
- 01
Connect to your sound system
A clean line feed from the mixer you already use — not a room mic — so the audio quality stays high.
- 02
We transcribe & translate live
Arabic speech becomes captions in your congregation's language in under four seconds.
- 03
Captions on the screens in your hall
Show the translation on the main screen — and on extra displays around the hall, so everyone has a clear view.
Built for the khutbah
Every design decision starts with the sermon and the people listening to it.
Refined after the khutbah
Live captions keep up in the moment. Afterward, the whole sermon is re-translated with full context — so the saved transcript reads cleaner and more accurately than anything produced word-by-word.
وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ
And establish the prayer, and give the purifying alms.
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ
Help one another in righteousness and in mindfulness of God.
Captions on every screen
Mirror the captions to as many displays as your hall needs — the main screen, the women's section, overflow rooms. Every screen shows the same Arabic and every translation, all in sync.
اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَعْمَالِكُمْ
Be mindful of God in your deeds.
Vær bevidst om Gud i dine handlinger.
اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَعْمَالِكُمْ
Be mindful of God in your deeds.
Vær bevidst om Gud i dine handlinger.
اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَعْمَالِكُمْ
Be mindful of God in your deeds.
Vær bevidst om Gud i dine handlinger.

Questions, answered
No. BetterKhutbah takes a line feed from the mixer you already use, or you can register a capture device and use your own microphone setup. A screen or projector at the front of the hall shows the captions — install the app on an Android TV or a Chromecast — and you can add more displays around the room.
Only if you want it to be. You can save the audio and the full transcript of each khutbah — with a refined translation, a summary and the key points, downloadable as a PDF — or process the audio live and keep nothing. Recording is opt-in, and you control what's stored.
Yes. Congregants scan a QR code and follow the same live captions on their own phone, choosing the language they read in. The screens in your hall keep working exactly as before — the phone is an addition, not a replacement.
English and Danish at launch, with Urdu, French and others rolling out from the same Arabic transcript.
When the imam recites a well-known verse, we show it from an established translation where we can match it — and we're actively improving this. Our main focus is making the sermon itself clear in your language.
BetterKhutbah is in early access. Request access and we'll discuss what fits your mosque.
