HearThis™ is a free scripture recording software that empowers communities to record and share translated scripture in their own languages as they translate. No need for fluent readers or waiting for translation completion.

HearThis™ makes scripture recording simple:

  • Start sharing recordings during translation
  • Record scripture passages locally
  • Produce high-quality audio recordings

HearThis™ integrates with Paratext, a popular scripture translation software, but works independently as well.

Partnering with FCBH

Faith Comes By Hearing‘s mission is to provide people everywhere with free access to God’s Word through Audio Bibles in every translated language. To explore a possible partnership with them to create a successful product, please check out their FCBH Guidelines to Processing Partner Recordings and FCBH Reference Guide for Using HearThis.

Note: Depending on the stage of your project, and their availability to meet your timeline, instead of recording with HearThis, you might be able to arrange for FCBH to help with the recording process and walk with you through every stage of getting your audio Scriptures completed and published. Please contact them directly for more information.
