Introduction to BTT Recorder
------------------------------

BTT Recorder consists of several user interface screens to enable you to record and edit oral translations of the Bible or Open Bible stories. Recordings are organized into projects that consist of:

*	A **Target Language** – the language you are translating into.
*	The **Project Type** - a book of the Bible or an Open Bible story

A project can optionally use source audio, so that the translator can listen to the source and then record its translation in the target language.
