“A quietly generous audio-and-text Bible in dozens of languages, with no ads and no cost.”
Wordproject is a quietly remarkable act of generosity: the entire Bible, as both audio and text, in 36 or more of the world's major languages, completely free and without a single advertisement. You can stream chapters over Wi-Fi or download them book-by-book for offline listening, and continuous auto-advancing playback makes it easy to listen hands-free through long passages.
It is at its best as a multilingual and missions resource. For households that pray in more than one language, for travelers, and for anyone sharing Scripture across language barriers, the breadth of coverage is genuinely useful and difficult to find elsewhere for free. It is run by a nonprofit volunteer association whose whole purpose is wide, no-cost distribution.
Expectations should be set accordingly. The narration is plain single-voice reading rather than a dramatized production, audio quality varies from language to language, and the app interface is basic and a little dated. There are no study tools or community features. As a straightforward, free way to hear and read the Bible in many languages, though, it delivers.
Anyone who wants a free, ad-free Bible they can listen to and read in one of dozens of languages, especially multilingual households, travelers, and missions work.
You want dramatized, high-production audio or study tools, in which case Streetlights, Dwell, or a dedicated study app will serve you better.
The mobile app includes audio and text Scripture in 36+ major world languages, with more available on the website.
