Our Story

Paratext, a Bible translation software, was originally created as an exogenous tool for the translator and missionary, Reinier de Blois in 1994. The software has since grown from a small resource tool to become the premiere tool in Bible translation. What started as a way for de Blois to leave heavy books and resources behind when he traveled has gone through many renditions. Throughout 9 editions, Paratext has been used to translate the Bible in over 3,500 languages.

Paratext 10 Studio holds the experience of past editions while stepping into an innovative future. It is a customizable and collaborative scripture workspace capable of serving projects from start to completion while making extensions (new or well-loved) available to users. Paratext 10 Studio is built on Platform.Bible, an open-source project by the Paratext team which invites developers to create and contribute extensions for users of Paratext Studio. We invite users and developers to come together to transform lives with the power of God's word.

Reliable

With over 30+ years of experience, we have offered tried and tested software for partners all over the world, patiently supporting them as they labor to translate the Bible.

Inclusive

We are a collective of people who believe “every nation, tribe, people and language” (Rev 7:9) belong in God’s kingdom. We invite others to join us and to witness one another (Heb 12:1) as we help the Church translate the Scriptures for all.

Purposeful

Our hope of heaven on earth is brought to life by the love and promises of Jesus, and we are moved in following Christ with passion for all peoples, a drive to innovate, and a desire for impact.

Our Team

Our team comprises multi-generational professionals from United Bible Societies (UBS) and SIL Global. We partner together from a variety of backgrounds and from all across the world—from the United States to Europe to New Zealand. We are proud and honored to work on an important project that transforms lives.
