Audela

Bible Translation Licensing Register

Audela reads Scripture from open providers, and being available through a provider is not the same as being permitted. Every edition is reviewed one at a time and recorded here. A translation is offered to readers only when its copyright status is clear and commercial use, redistribution, offline caching and app distribution are all permitted. Anything unverified stays hidden until the rights are established in writing, however much we would like to carry it.

The World English Bible remains the default reading translation. See also our Scripture credits.

Cleared for use (29)

These are the only translations the reader, studies, search, audio and any future mobile app may display.
