Jamaican Creole Bible
Read and listen to the New Testament in Jamaican Creole with verse audio
By Bible Society of the West Indies, Faith Comes By Hearing
What it does
This app carries the New Testament in Jamaican Creole, using the translation produced by the Bible Society of the West Indies, with a recorded audio New Testament from Faith Comes By Hearing. Text and audio run together and the app highlights each verse as it is read, which makes it usable by people who read Patois with difficulty even though they speak it.
Functionally it is a reading app: bookmarks, highlighting, verse notes, word search, a verse of the day with an optional daily reminder, night mode, adjustable type size and sharing of verses to messaging apps. The audio downloads for offline listening and the listing states there are no advertisements and no charge.
The same translation is also served on the web through live.bible.is under the version code JAMBSW. The publisher is a United States organisation, so this is catalogued as a Jamaica targeted product built on a Jamaican translation rather than a Jamaican built app.
