Audio Synchronization Tools

You can download the installer for the aeneas audio-text synchronization tools here. Choose the download according to your operating system (Windows or Mac). For Linux, the aeneas install is part of the Scripture App Builder package and you do not need to install it separately.

If you have previously installed each of the aeneas components using the manual method, we recommend that you uninstall each of these before installing the new version. The new installer installs the components to different places and in a different way from the manual method.

Necessary Development Kits

In addition to the Scripture App Builder (SAB) installation file you will need to download and install the Java and Android development kits. These are used by Scripture App Builder to compile Android apps. The Installation Instructions include step by step help for installing these development kits. If this is your first time installing SAB it is strongly recommended that you follow those instructions which include screenshots so you know exactly what to download.

Java Development Kit – You need version 17 of the Java Development Kit (JDK). Use the Install JDK wizard within Scripture App Builder to download and install the JDK.

Android Software Development Kit – Use the Install Android SDK wizard within Scripture App Builder to download and install the Android SDK.
