Now - Easy to Install - Easy to Learn

Earlier versions of Story Producer required long training sessions for new users. But now we are happy to announce that the app installs like any other app, and the embedded tutorial videos, popup windows, and streamlined user interface have greatly simplified the learning process.

About this app

Story Producer is an Android app that helps you orally translate and create Bible story videos in your local language–all from a mobile phone. Simply choose one of nearly 100 illustrated Bible stories from both the Old and New Testament, listen to the story in English, and record an oral translation, page by page. Then, with one tap, Story Producer will create a Bible story video that you can share with your community. We hope you will find Story Producer so easy and helpful that you will recommend it to others.

The biennial Bible Translation Conference will convene at the Empress Hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand, from Tuesday–Friday, October 28-31, 2025. This year’s theme, “Ethics in Bible Translation,” places questions of integrity at the center of the program—inviting scholars, translators, and practitioners to examine how ethical commitments shape translation decisions, partnerships, and outcomes.

As in past editions, the gathering aims to advance the theory and practice of Bible translation while cultivating a professional culture that rejects discrimination and fosters respect across disciplines and communities.

The theme will be explored through plenary lectures, curated sessions, and training opportunities that analyze ethics across

• People and Communities

• Finances, Leadership, and Communication

• Technology and Processes (including machine-assisted translation and AI)

• Interpretation and Exegesis.

Abstracts and scheduling are aligned with six tracks:

• Technology and Resources

• Training and Mentoring

• Theology, Hermeneutics, and Exegesis

• Methodologies, Media, and Multimodality

• Church and Community

• Communication and Context

This is to ensure a program that is both methodologically rigorous and practically focused. Full details, including featured lecture series, registration, lodging, and exhibitor information, are available on the conference site.

For those who want to participate virtually, there is time to register.  

Virtual participants enjoy a discounted registration fee!  Discover more at https://btconference.org/
