    Bible Mapper Software - David P. Barrett

    There will be no integration with SwordSearcher. However, you can make maps and then save them in .jpg format and use them in user modules.

    Bible Mapper Software - David P. Barrett

    Here is an alternative that may interest some users. Map Creator by fmosoft.com The user can change the labels and create his/her own map. And one can do it in languages besides English. For me, this is a wonderful tool. The biggest feature: absolute control of the content by the user, not by...

    Best feature?

    Hands down – extensibility. I can create foreign-language Bible modules (via Forge) and commentaries as much as I like, and all the search capabilities work exactly the same as they do for the ones that come with the program.

    AI (not the city)

    I did not understand this statement. What is a "toaster"? This is the response from the Apple Dictionary: toaster | ˈtōstər | noun 1 an electrical device for making toast. 2 a DJ who accompanies reggae with improvised rhythmic speech. I don't know what "reggae" means, either. I guess this is...

    2024 is SwordSearcher's 30th Anniversary! 😁

    I don't recall when I started using SwordSearcher. I don't know where I heard about it. But it seems like a long time ago. And I've been one happy user ever since. Great job, Brandon! To God be the glory!

    Audio Book

    I have tried many other recordings of the Bible, and I always come back to Scourby. Others do provide better audio quality and more even reading speed, and Scourby does make mistakes from time to time. But … I've yet to find anyone who can read the Scriptures alone and yet communicate so well –...

    Making an Audio Bible

    Thank you, Brandon. I understand the limits of time and resources you face (to some degree). I would say that to increase the vote weight of the few who would use the feature, that those few might help others to read/hear the Word of God in their own language and thereby have a huge impact for...

    Making an Audio Bible

    I asked Brandon about that once since I wanted to do one for a foreign-language Bible, but, IIRC, it was not something Brandon was willing to pursue. I.e., it's hard-coded and not something he could easily make available for user extensibility. Brandon, I still wish it was possible for us users...

    FR: fly-out Reading Schedule panel via Widget or similar

    @wsbones, I don't even have room there for it or an icon/widget. To save screen real estate, I've put the Book and Commentaries panel up over the menu bar so only a portion of the word "User" shows :)

    FR: fly-out Reading Schedule panel via Widget or similar

    Although I had previously started to use the Reading Schedule in SwordSearcher, I never stuck with that electronic (computer) method of documenting my Bible reading. I don't recall now why, but maybe it was because of what I found inconvenient with the Reading Schedule panel. Right now I'm over...

    Loading Parallels/Windows 11 Pro and SwordSearcher

    There was no need to buy anything until everything was up and running. Both Parallels and Windows 11 will run for a while without buying them: Parallels for 30 days and Windows indefinitely (I guess), but with some limitations.

    Loading Parallels/Windows 11 Pro and SwordSearcher

    Cyrus, You first need to install Parallels. Then once Parallels is installed, you within Parallels will install Windows11. Parallels knows from whence to download the Win11 file. It will install Windows and create your Virtual Machine. After all of that is done, you launch Windows from within...

    Loading Parallels/Windows 11 Pro and SwordSearcher

    You can probably get a 30-day free full-service trial period, and then buy Parallels at the end. There are two Parallels Desktop options: 1. Pay once and stay on that version until you pay again (may be OK for your needs); 2. rent forever. The ARM architecture of the new Mac chips requires a...

    Forum times are wonky on my computer

    Thank you, Brandon! It was the time zone set for me in the forum settings. I did not think of that. I feel kind of stupid for not thinking of that, but … Anyway, I guess I can no longer experience the future.

    Forum times are wonky on my computer

    My computer including the virtual machine have the correct date, so I'm not sure what's going on here. I was accessing the forum website via the host computer anyway, and its time (AFAIK) has never been inaccurate.
