Scripture by meaning.
Audio to the word.
Ask for a feeling, a few words or a reference, typed or spoken, and get back passages of two to six verses, each with a line saying where it sits and who is speaking. Send a recording, with or without its text, and get the time of every verse and word.
A few words to your first passage

- Search by text or reference Find a thought or go straight to a verse in the World English Bible.
- Search by voice Send a short spoken request and receive its transcript with matching passages.
- Align a recording Get section and word timings, with optional MP3 clips.
- Build a read-along player Use the timings to seek to a verse and highlight words in your own app.
How the audio works
One continuous recording, timed to the word and cut cleanly, whatever it contains. Read aligning real recordings, record once, cut many ways and pacing and background sound.
For agents and assistants
Give your assistant or voice agent a tool that returns the exact words, so it quotes scripture instead of recalling it. Your coding assistant can read these docs through llms-full.txt or this site's MCP server.
Built for your server
One bearer key per request. JSON over HTTPS. Use the same requests with test and live keys. Keep your key in your backend, including when you build for iOS, Android or the web.
- Authentication and key rotation
- Test allowances and live limits
- Errors and retries
- Request live access
Read it your way
Browse the endpoint reference, download the OpenAPI YAML or JSON, or give your development assistant the documentation index and full documentation.
Scripture text is the World English Bible (public domain). Alignment also accepts your own text, divided into sections with your own IDs.
