Scripture Forge
Scripture Forge is an online app for team-based Bible translation, featuring AI help and tools for community review.
Overview
- Translation Drafting: Scripture Forge uses artificial intelligence to generate rough drafts based on previously translated Scripture. When a project contains about 8000 verses across multiple genres - equivalent to a complete New Testament - draft generation can provide a draft of the next book for the project or back translation, helping teams maintain consistency and naturalness. Earlier in the translation project, teams can use the Translation Suggestions to generate predicted words and phrases for the current verse based on already-translated verses.
- Editing: Teams can draft and edit translations collaboratively, without worrying about keeping track of multiple conflicting versions. Paratext integration and ongoing synchronization keeps your project up-to-date and allows user feedback via Paratext Notes.
- Community Checking: Teams can invite non-Paratext users to review translations, add comments, and answer questions about the translation. Translation teams and community checkers can interact via typed text and audio recording.
Features
- Integrated with Paratext projects, roles, and notes.
- Works seamlessly on both mobile devices and desktops.
- Fully supports audio for Scripture checking, including highlighting each verse as it is read aloud.
- Offline functionality allows team members to work offline, with their changes seamlessly saved once an internet connection is re-established.
Future Development
Scripture Forge will continue to offer new tooling to support multiple translation workflows and research-based draft generation processes for early translation projects that don’t yet have the minimum recommended translation data.
