Audio Scriptures with Glyssen and HearThis

Date: 2026-06-25 04:00 | Presenter: Tom Bogle

Description: Glyssen and HearThis are two specialized software tools designed to streamline the overall production of audio Scriptures. Glyssen facilitates dramatized recordings by automatically identifying direct speech within biblical texts, helping users assign distinct characters to voice actors, and generating complete, ready to use recording scripts. Conversely, HearThis empowers local language communities to independently record translated Scripture with minimal training, thereby promoting a flexible "publish early and often" production model. This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of both tools, specifically demonstrating how a script prepared in Glyssen can be seamlessly integrated into HearThis for efficient, dramatized audio recording in the field.
