Bible Reader Listen
Hear the voices
The app reads the Bible aloud in voices recorded ahead of time, so they sound the same every time and play with the screen locked. English has Bella and Michael. Here are the voices we've made for the Spanish and Chinese Bibles: the same short passage in each, and the whole chapter if you'd like to listen longer.

Reading the 和合本, the Chinese Union Version, in simplified characters.
1有一个法利赛人，名叫尼哥德慕，是犹太人的官。2这人夜里来见耶稣，说：「拉比，我们知道你是由 神那里来作师傅的；因为你所行的神迹，若没有 神同在，无人能行。」3耶稣回答说：「我实实在在地告诉你，人若不重生，就不能见 神的国。」4尼哥德慕说：「人已经老了，如何能重生呢？岂能再进母腹生出来吗？」5耶稣说：「我实实在在地告诉你，人若不是从水和[圣]灵生的，就不能进 神的国。

About these recordings
Each voice is made on our own Mac with Kokoro, an open speech model, from the Bible text the app shows. Nothing is read by a person, and nothing is sent anywhere to make them. In the app, each word lights as it's read; in Spanish and Chinese the lighting is close rather than exact.
