Features & Capabilities

Draw, highlight, and take notes directly on Bible text with Apple Pencil — across 9 translations, with layers, symbol stamps, and live teaching-display mirroring.

BibleScribe turns your iPad and Apple Pencil into a real study Bible you can write on — directly on the actual Scripture text, not a scanned page or a static image.

WRITE ON REAL SCRIPTURE TEXT Underline, circle, and take handwritten notes right on the Bible text itself, in multiple translations — NASB '95, NKJV, CSB, BSB, WEB, WEBBE, KJV, and ASV (more to come). Your ink stays attached to that translation and chapter, exactly where you drew it.

FIVE LAYERS PER CHAPTER Keep your first read-through markup separate from a topical study, a sermon-prep pass, or a small-group discussion — up to 5 independent drawing layers per chapter, each toggleable on or off, so your annotations never collide.

SYMBOL STAMPS Mark themes and cross-references with a customizable symbol legend — place a stamp, drag it, undo it, just like ink.

HANDWRITTEN NOTES WITH AUTOMATIC VERSE DETECTION Take free-form handwritten notes on a separate notepad canvas. BibleScribe reads your handwriting on-device and detects Bible references on command — tap a detected reference to jump straight to that passage. Notes support multiple pages, line ruling, tags, and full-text search.

TEACH AND PRESENT LIVE Mirror your Bible view — including your live, in-progress ink — to an external display or projector via AirPlay or a wired connection. Perfect for teaching, preaching, or leading a Bible study where the room needs to see what you're marking up in real time.

BUILT FOR REAL STUDY

  • Bookmark any chapter and jump back instantly

FREE TO START Read, search, and annotate five free translations (BSB, WEB, WEBBE, KJV, ASV) with the full drawing and notes toolset at no cost. BibleScribe Pro unlocks NASB '95, NKJV, and CSB, plus bulk offline downloads for every translation.
