BART, which stands for Biblical Analysis & Research Tool, is an advanced Scripture translation research software designed to assist translators in engaging deeply with the original Greek and Hebrew texts. With BART, even those with limited knowledge of these ancient languages can identify key features in the source texts, facilitating more accurate and meaningful translations. Our goal with BART is to empower translators worldwide to rely on Greek and Hebrew as their primary source texts, foregoing European language versions, thus enhancing the quality of their draft translations.

As an interactive source language Bible program, BART is seamlessly integrated with Translator’s Workplace, specifically the Logos edition. This integration ensures that users have easy access to essential texts while maintaining copyright compliance. By using BART, translators can significantly improve their translation accuracy and depth, paving the way for richer engagement with Scripture in their local communities.
