Millions of people around the globe still live in Bible poverty, with little to no access to Scripture in their heart language. Tools.Bible is a centralized, searchable library of Bible translation tools, built as a one-stop hub to guide translators, teams, and organizations to the resources they need for every phase of a translation project, from first draft through publishing.^1
A collaborative effort by Biblica and Wycliffe, Tools.Bible gathers data on each tool's features, capabilities, use cases, and firsthand testimonials from translators who have used them on real projects, and makes that information searchable so teams can find the tools they need today.^2 The library includes Paratext, Scripture Forge, Audio Project Manager, and Scripture App Builder, alongside Open.Bible, MARBLE, and Bible Brain, from organizations like SIL International, United Bible Societies, Faith Comes By Hearing, and Bridge Connectivity Solutions.^3 Paratext, one of its drafting and editing anchors, supports resource texts in over 1,270 languages.^4
Tools are organized by translation stage, from language assessment and drafting to quality assurance, publishing, and Scripture engagement.^3 An AI-powered discovery tool offers personalized recommendations for teams who are not sure where to start.^1 Organizations can also submit their own tools for inclusion.^2
Biblica lists Tools.Bible among its flagship digital initiatives, alongside the Digital Training Library and Open.Bible.^5 The Samech (ס) symbol in its logo represents support for translators: holding up and encircling mother-tongue translators with resources.^2
Why It MattersBible translation is complex, multi-year work. Before Tools.Bible, finding the right software meant searching across dozens of organizational websites. Bringing it into one place lets translators spend less time searching and more time translating.
