Frequently Asked Questions

Bibles:

What do I do if I cannot find the Bible I want to read on inScript?

The Digital Bible Society is continually adding new Bibles and updating old Bibles in inScript. Currently, dozens of Bibles are being added to inScript every month. Please check back later to see if the Bible you're looking for has been added.

If there is a particular Bible you would like to see on the inScript platform, please contact us. We would love to hear from you about your favorite Bible in any language. Please include as much information as possible on the Bible, especially copyright information.

Keep in mind that several Bible publishers require a royalty for the right to distribute the Bibles they publish. Since the Digital Bible Society is a non-profit ministry, we ask that you consider sponsoring a Bible not currently available on inScript.

What should I do if I find an error in a Bible?

If you find a technical, semantic, linguistic, or content error in a Bible, please contact us directly on our feedback page. We will do our best to look into it as soon as possible. Please be as detailed as you can when submitting an error report.

Why are some Bibles on inScript incomplete?

Since the work of translating a Bibles takes many years and sometimes decades, the Digital Bible Society has been asked to assist in getting the Word out by delivering portions of the Bible that would not be otherwise available.

To help get these much needed Bible translations out as soon as possible we partner with Bible translators and translation agencies to publish completed books of the Bible as soon as they are deemed ready for publication. Once a Bible is finished, the portion is then replaced as the Bible agency deems appropriate.

Please contact us, if you or your organization have recently completed or are undergoing a new translation project and would like it to be immediately available via inScript. We will gladly partner with Bible translators to insure that God's Word is made immediately deliverable as soon as even one or a few books of the Bible are ready for digital delivery.

Are additional Bibles being accepted for inScript?

The answer is yes! As a member of the Forum of Bible Agencies International (FOBAI), we accept the inclusion of Bibles recognized and endorsed by FOBAI. Please contact us or another agency affiliated with FOBAI to go through the process of receiving endorsement for a particular Bible to show up on inScript.

Can I freely distribute the Bibles available on inScript?

Many Bible translations available on inScript have certain copyright and distribution restrictions. These restrictions may apply to any part of the text, a certain amount of the text, or a particular published form, such as a digital publication. The Digital Bible Society respects the copyright laws binding the agreement of the usage of the Bibles we make available to the world via the inScript digital Bible platform. Therefore, we have included easily accessible copyright information for each Bible published on inScript.

You can access basic copyright information by clicking on the "i" icon located at the top header bar of each Bible opened on inScript. For additional information on copyright and distribution limitations, please research or contact the respective agency responsible for the publication directly.

Other Bibles available through inScript are either in the Public Domain or licensed through Creative Commons.

As God's Word says, "All who are thirsty, come to the water! You who have no money, come! Buy and eat! Come! Buy wine and milk without money and without cost... Pay attention and come to me! Listen, so you can live! Then I will make an unconditional covenantal promise to you, just like the reliable covenantal promises I made to David. Look, I made him a witness to nations" Isaiah 55:1, 3-4 (NET).

What should I do if I am having a problem loading inScript?

In view of the wide variety of browsers available and the many different types of internet-accessible devices, occasionally inScript will have trouble loading. If you continue having issues with loading inScript or any of the Bibles, features, or media we have a few recommendations.

First Option: Click on the gear icon that appears at the top right of the page. Scroll down on this drop down menu to find a “Restore” option and click it. This will reset the inScript interface to the default windows.

Second Option: If that does not work, try resetting your web browser. This site provides easy to follow instructions on performing a “hard reset” on common web browsers. For other browsers, please do a web search.

Browser Recommendation: We find that the online version of inScript works best on Firefox and Chrome.

What can I do if inScript is running slowly on my device?

inScript was created to work on most standard internet connections. However, if you have a weak or slow connection, please be patient with inScript as it load Bibles and other media.

You can try resetting the internet, moving to a different location, opening inScript on a different internet connection, or contacting your internet provider. You can also clear the cache on your web browser to improve the performance.

Sometimes you might experience longer than expected delays on searches in one or more Bibles. This might be due to some Bibles not being pre-indexed to help searches process faster.

Can I print Bible text from inScript?

To print what is currently viewable on your screen, just click the print option on your browser. If you would like to print more than what currently appears on your screen, use the copy and paste function. You can either transfer the copied text to another program (such as Microsoft Word) to print or click and drag to highlight material, then right click and choose the print option.

How do I get inScript as a Mobile App?

At present, inScript can be accessed through most web browsers across devices. In the near future, inScript Apps currently in development will be widely available for free in a convenient, easy-to-use format. These inScript Apps will be available soon on Android, IOS, and Windows 8. Please check back soon for more information on tentative publication dates and links for immediate download.
