|link=Book of Mormon/Translation/Method
|subject=Chronology of translation methods
|summary=We have a number of accounts of the translation process from the perspective of various contemporary second-hand witnesses who viewed the Prophet as he dictated to his scribes. The only person other than Joseph who attempted to directly translate was Oliver Cowdery. Oliver, however, did not record any details regarding the exact ''physical'' process that he employed during his attempt&mdash;we only have the ''spiritual'' aspect of the process.
