Native venue displays

Live captions, built for LED screens and projectors.

Pikka Speech renders captions natively on the big screens in your venue. Open a display link on the computer driving an LED wall or a projector and captions appear full-screen — sized for the back row, with no extra software in between.

Display modes

Three ways to show captions on a big screen

LED wall mode

The computer driving the LED wall opens the display link and captions render full-screen. High-contrast, distance-sized text keeps every row reading comfortably — ideal for conferences, summits, and stage events.

  • LED wall mode renders captions full-screen natively.
  • Display text is sized for long-distance viewing.
  • No caption software or API work is required.

Projector mode

Projectors get the same native display mode: open the link on the projecting machine and captions fill the projection with a full-screen roll-up layout. Back rows read the same live translation as the front row.

  • Projector mode fills the projection with captions.
  • The roll-up layout keeps pace with live speech.
  • Works from any machine that can drive the projector.

Transparent overlay

A frameless Mac and Windows overlay app floats captions over the picture itself — a live stream, a recording, or a shared screen — without a solid background. A browser overlay is also available with no install. Perfect when captions must appear inside the content, not beside it.

  • The transparent overlay floats captions over any screen.
  • No solid background — the content stays visible.
  • Covers streams, recordings, and shared presentations.

How it works

From room code to big screen

01

Add the caption display

Turn on caption display for the room at checkout, or from the host console. It is a flat $250 per event.

02

Open the display link

On the machine driving the LED wall or projector, open the display link in any browser. Captions render full-screen immediately.

03

Room and phones stay in sync

The venue screen shows the same live captions as the listener phones — one event, one stream, every surface covered.

Comparison

Which display fits your event?

The venue screen, the stream, or the pocket — each surface has its own mode.

Questions

Venue displays, answered

Do LED screens or projectors need extra software to show captions?

No. Pikka Speech has a native caption display mode: open the display link in the browser connected to the LED wall or projector, and captions render full-screen immediately. No separate caption software, no API work.

Can a projector show captions the whole room can read?

Yes. The display mode uses a full-screen roll-up layout with large, high-contrast text sized for long-distance viewing, so back rows read captions as easily as the front row.

What is the transparent desktop overlay for?

The frameless always-on-top overlay is a Mac and Windows desktop app that floats captions over a stream, recording, or shared presentation. A browser overlay is also available with no extra software.

How much does the caption display cost?

Live caption display is a flat $250 per event, added at checkout. It covers the venue display mode and the overlay for the duration of the event.

Do attendees still get captions on their own phones?

Yes. Personal captions on each attendee's phone are separate from the venue display — the LED or projector screen is for the room, while each listener keeps their own language and transcript on their device.
