Bible Audio — the Louis Segond Bible, read aloud

The full French text and its audio reading, in an app that works with no network and no account. The verse being read is highlighted and scrolls on its own.

66books
1,189chapters
31,102verses

Read

One verse per line, numbered, set in a serif face that holds up over long sittings. The text ships inside the app: it opens instantly, with no network, from the very first launch.

Search runs across all 31,102 verses offline. Whatever you bookmark or annotate stays on your device.

Listen

Every chapter is read in full. As it plays, the current verse is highlighted and scrolls with the voice — you follow along without hunting for your place.

This is the least visible work in the app: for every chapter, the moment at which each of its verses begins had to be computed. Thirty-one thousand marks.

Offline

Chapters download one at a time, or book by book, and then stay on the device. On a plane, in a car, in a basement: the app depends on nothing.

Privacy

No account, no address to hand over. Your bookmarks, notes and reading position are stored locally and are sent to no server. The detail is in the privacy policy.

Frequently asked

Which Bible translation is used?

The Louis Segond translation in French, in full: 66 books from Genesis to Revelation, which is 1,189 chapters and 31,102 verses.

Is the app in English?

Not yet. This first release is French — both the text and the recordings. English will follow, but it needs its own complete recording of all 1,189 chapters first.

Does it work without a connection?

The text does, from first launch: it ships inside the app. Audio is downloaded first, chapter by chapter or book by book, and then plays offline.

Do I need an account?

No. No sign-up, no email address. You open the app and you read.

When will it be available?

It will be released on the App Store. Write to contact@myapps4ever.com to hear when it lands.
