Yes! In your Account page, just turn off all the steps you want to skip. You have complete control over the verse by verse experience.

No! In your Account page, you can set the threshold for how many times you need to parse different word types. Once you have correctly parsed a particular word that many times, you can turn on auto-complete for that word. From then on, every time you click on that word in a parsing stage, it will automatically be parsed for you.

We offer flexible subscription options: $5/month for monthly access, $50/year for annual access (saving $10), or a one-time purchase for access to the NT. All payments are processed securely through Stripe, and you get instant access to all premium features upon payment confirmation.

Subscribers get unlimited access to all biblical books, custom AI-powered feedback on all translations, parsing practice for each verse of the NT, progress tracking and analytics, and group collaboration tools.

AI feedback is generated with the help of a lot of additional context passed along with your translation. That means the AI can give you feedback on your translation based on the context of the verse and the Greek nuances of text you are working on. The AI feedback is not perfect, but it is a powerful tool to help you improve your translations. We are making constant improvements to the AI feedback system. The more you use it, the better it gets!

Yes! You can create study groups, invite students, assign specific verses to groups, and track progress at both individual and group levels. Comments and discussions are tied to specific verses, making it perfect for classroom or small group settings.

We use the Open Greek New Testament (OpenGNT) as our source text, along with Bible translation embeddings for similarity comparison and Tyndale glosses and parsing information. This provides a comprehensive foundation for studying New Testament Greek. English translations currently available for comparison: NASB (New American Standard Bible), ESV (English Standard Version), BSB (Berean Study Bible), AKJV (American King James Version), KJV (King James Version), CPDV (Catholic Public Domain Version), and YLT (Young's Literal Translation)

Koine Guide is designed for students who already have some familiarity with biblical Greek — grammar, basic vocabulary, and parsing. If you are a complete beginner, we recommend building your foundation first. We have curated the best beginner resources for seminary students and self-directed learners, including structured online courses, daily grammar tools, and free interlinear Bible study tools. Once you can identify basic verbal forms and noun cases, Koine Guide's verse-by-verse practice will accelerate your reading speed and accuracy significantly.

The platform includes comprehensive progress tracking that shows your advancement through different books, chapters, and verses. You can see your parsing accuracy, translation improvements over time, and completion rates for various exercises.

Access to the platform will be downgraded at the end of your subscription term. One-time purchase users have permanent access to their purchased content with no subscription to manage. Note: If you cancel your subscription, you will still be able to access your translation work. You just will not be able to get more translation feedback or work on any new verses.
