What Users are Saying...

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.

The powerful tools in Paratext significantly increase the quality and speed of our translation work. Praise God for this wonderful program and for all those who invest in developing and supporting it!

This is awesome! We're very very grateful for Paratext. We know it's going to save us years of our life and in our translation!
