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.
