About Glyssen

Glyssen was developed as a joint venture between SIL International and Faith Comes By Hearing to help provide a language community the essential tools and documentation needed to record one or more books of the Bible. It was developed to give both the recordist and the language team a reasonable starting point in preparation for the recording event.

For the language team, Glyssen will assist in preparation of the translated Scripture text for use as an audio script.

For the recording project coordinator (RPC), Glyssen provides tools for script formatting and voice actor cast management.

For the recordist, Glyssen is designed to manage the clip system required for multi­voice recording including labeling, sortable checklists, voice actor release status. It also provides tools for revision of texts and recorded clips.

Contributing

The best way to contribute your enhancements is to fork the GitHub project, then submit pull requests to the development team. It would be helpful, however, for you to first contact the team to find out whether your intended enhancement or fix is already being worked on by someone else. That would also give you an idea of whether that enhancement would be welcomed by the team.

You can view current issues in JIRA.
