5 out of 5 stars

"Faithful saints can still enjoy church. One listener in assisted living has her friends join her every Sunday. Others who cannot drive still can make it to church. Our audience is growing, and Gospel is not being hindered."

Accessibility for the Blind & Visually Impaired FAQ

How does PhoneLive make live audio accessible for blind and low-vision listeners?
PhoneLive streams the live audio from a service or public meeting to any ordinary phone, so blind and low-vision listeners simply answer a call or dial a number to listen in. There is no screen, app, or adaptive software to configure — the entire experience is audio.
Do blind or visually impaired listeners need special equipment or software?
No. Any telephone works — landline, flip phone, or smartphone — so there is no adaptive equipment, app, or training required. That makes it a straightforward accessibility option for churches and local governments alike.
How does this help churches and local governments meet their accessibility commitments?
Broadcasting live services or public meetings by phone gives blind and low-vision community members equal access to the same content everyone else hears, with no internet or assistive tech needed. It is an inclusive audio channel that complements captions and other online accommodations.
Can listeners dial in themselves, or does the system call them?
Both. PhoneLive can automatically call your listeners when a broadcast begins, or they can dial your dedicated number any time to listen. Either way, no visual interface is involved.
How much setup is involved to get started?
You can activate a free 30-day sandbox with no credit card required. Setup typically takes about 15 minutes and only needs a cell number to begin, and PhoneLive works with streaming tools you may already use such as OBS, Zoom, Resi, and Boxcast.
How many people can listen to a broadcast at once?
PhoneLive runs in the cloud and scales to hundreds of simultaneous callers per broadcast, so a large service or a well-attended public meeting connects just as reliably as a small one.
