What Translators are Saying

“I personally use Paratext every day. I can’t even imagine trying to do my job without it.”

Field translator, SIL Nigeria

“Using Paratext has been transformative for our translation team worldwide. The collaborative features, especially Send/Receive synchronization, allow our consultants to check passages and provide feedback in real-time, cutting our revision time in half.”

Translation team member

“When I showed the Finongan team Enhanced Resources in Paratext 9, they were in awe. They cannot understand why anyone would not want to use Paratext 9.”
