Supporting language communities with literacy, development, and translation tools

Software & Services Writing & Fonts

Empowering Communities Through Technology

We provide the technical foundation and linguistic expertise for every community to flourish in the digital age.

Language Equity

People flourish when they can communicate in their own language. We build the tools to make that possible.

Local Partnership

We equip communities with the technical tools they need to reach their own language development goals.

Global Infrastructure

We share expert data and open-source resources to help every language community reach its full, God-given potential.

Document & Translate

  • Support language documentation, analysis, and dictionary creation with FieldWorks (FLEx).
  • Translate Scripture with Paratext and Scripture Forge.
  • Manage recordings of language data with Audio Project Manager and SayMore.
  • Record Scripture with HearThis.

Publish & Distribute

  • Enable primer writing with PrimerPro.
  • Produce books for early readers with Bloom.
  • Make apps with Scripture App Builder and Dictionary App Builder.
  • Publish dictionaries with Webonary.

Write & Communicate

  • Support complex writing systems with award-winning fonts.
  • Write with specialized keyboards and writing technologies such as Graphite.
  • Document scripts and writing systems with ScriptSource.

"In our literacy and education consultant work it will be of great value to be able to use the special character alternatives [in Andika] for languages being used in early literacy acquisition for mother tongue-based multilingual education programs."

Software & Standards

We rely on open tools and processes to develop and support over 50 linguistic and translation products, including:

  • Powerful Software
  • Professional Fonts
  • Unique Writing Systems
  • Mobile Apps and Keyboards
  • Collaborative Web Apps
  • Open Standards (including Unicode, ISO 639-3, and LIFT)
