Paratext 10 Studio: As simple as you need it to be, as powerful as you want it to be.
Users of Paratext will be familiar with our mission: equipping Bible translators with software that enables them to reach every tribe, tongue, and nation. The Paratext team is happy to announce the release of Paratext 10 Studio Preview 2 and to share the next stage in the journey of the world’s leading Bible translation software.
This new release builds on the foundation of Preview 1, which introduced a refreshed user interface, compatibility across Windows, Mac, and Linux, Send/Receive with Paratext 9, and access to Bible resources through the Digital Bible Library. Preview 2 expands those capabilities with features designed to make your translation work faster, smarter, and more accurate.
Watch this video for an overview of Paratext 10 Studio Preview 2.
A Word About Preview 2
It’s important to note that Preview 2 is not yet a full release. This version is still under development and isn’t yet ready for full translation projects. But it is ready for exploration. You can download the Preview, test out new features, and provide feedback that directly shapes the future of Paratext.
Though you can Send/Receive between Paratext 10 Studio and Paratext 9, there are some project safety steps you should take in order to ensure your project stays secure.
To test out Paratext 10 Studio, we recommend that you do NOT use an active project. Instead, try one of these options:
- Use a test or training project.OR
- Use a copy of an active translation project.

Demo Videos
To give you a closer look, members of our development team recorded three short demo videos of the newest features in Paratext 10 Studio.
Hebrew & Greek Dictionaries
Accuracy and depth are essential in translation. With Preview 2, Paratext 10 Studio gives you access to the Semantic Dictionaries of Biblical Hebrew and Greek, a foundational feature to the Enhanced Resources utilized throughout your translation.
These dictionaries are our first step towards a full Enhanced Resources feature that provides detailed lexical insights right inside the software, supporting translators with the foundational tools needed to ensure clarity and faithfulness in the text.

Submit Feedback and Report Issues
We’ve made it easier than ever to share your voice with the Paratext team. The new Submit Feedback and Report an Issue features allow you to quickly provide feedback, report bugs, or suggest ideas for new features.

Flexibility is at the heart of Paratext 10 Studio. The new Manage Extensions tool lets you discover, enable, and control the extensions you need—while disabling the ones you don’t.
