The Bible, out loud, for every blind and low-vision reader.
BibleCourier is a talking Bible built accessibility-first — so Scripture is as
easy to hear and move through as it is to read. Every button speaks. Nothing is left to sight alone.
It’s being shaped hand-in-hand with the people who use it, as part of the
Lutheran Braille Evangelism Association’s mission to put God’s Word in reach of those who cannot see the page.
Scripture that meets people where they are
For a blind listener, “open your Bible” has always meant depending on someone
else. BibleCourier changes that — independent, private, and built for the ear.
Reads aloud, hands-free
Press play and it reads on its own — verse into verse, chapter into chapter, even from one
book into the next — announcing where you are as it goes.
Built for screen readers
Every control is labeled for Apple VoiceOver and Android TalkBack, with care taken that the
reading voice and the screen reader never talk over each other.
Seven translations, three languages
King James, World English, American Standard, the Berean Standard Bible, and the Catholic
Public Domain Version — plus Spanish (Reina-Valera) and German (Luther), each read in its own voice.
Find your place — simply
Move by book, chapter, verse, or word with plain one-button rows you tap or swipe. Leap across
long books with “power search,” and save the verses that matter with bookmarks you step through.
Section headings, spoken
Familiar section titles — “The Lord Is My Shepherd,” “The Garden of Eden” — are read aloud and
shown, giving listeners reference points sighted readers take for granted.
Yours to keep
Works offline, remembers exactly where you left off, adjusts speed and voice, and has a sleep
timer for bedtime listening.
A closer look
Simple by default — one button per row — with a full set of controls a tap away
for those who want them. The same clean, high-contrast design throughout.
Why we’re building it
For more than seventy years, the Lutheran Braille Evangelism Association has
carried the Gospel to people who are blind or visually impaired — in Braille, in large print,
and in sound.
BibleCourier is that mission in a modern form: a growing family of tools — a dedicated talking
device, a web reader, and now this mobile app — that let a blind believer open the Scriptures
whenever they wish, without waiting on anyone’s help.
Your gifts pay for the development, the voices, and the testing with
blind users that make it genuinely usable — not just technically accessible.
reach, for everyone.”
Help put the Word in more hands — and ears
Your support funds the building and testing of BibleCourier so that the next blind or low-vision
reader can open the Bible on their own. Every gift moves it forward.
