DOCUMENT TEXT · HEADLINES · SUPPORTING TEXT · TICKERS

Start with a programme, notice, photo or a few notes. AI assistance helps you prepare the words for your broadcast—from a clear headline and supporting line to a concise ticker message. Review the suggestions, make them yours, and decide what goes on screen.

What does OCR mean? Optical Character Recognition: technology that reads words from an image and converts them into editable text. It’s the text-reading step—not the same thing as AI writing a summary.

A NAME. A ROLE. A REASON TO LISTEN.

What is a lower third overlay?

A lower third is an on-screen graphic, usually placed in the lower portion of a video, that introduces a speaker or adds context without covering the action. It can show a name, job title, organisation, location or short announcement.

Overlay by LMN lets you explore editable lower thirds for interviews, church live streams, panel discussions, podcasts and live events. Start with a template, choose a colour and see your changes immediately.
