I appreciate the apology, but part of the problem is that you are the only one we are hearing things from and you can't give us any update on syncing (I understand that you can only pass on what you are told). This coming Friday will mark 2 YEARS since 14 was released. We have not heard ANYTHING from the owner in almost two years (we received one post after the terrible Accordance 14 rollout). If you look at forums for the main competitor then you realize how many people have switched or are considering a switch. I have been a long term user of both and believe that both have their strengths and weaknesses. The last update we received from management was July 15. I understand the hesitancy to give dates but it is too late to not tell us anything. Accordance 14 was sold with syncing coming and cloud by the end of 2022. It is time for something from the owner.

Me, too! Me, too as figuratively speaking in my use case the grass is definitely not greener on the other side! There is only one other software that can perform 'some' of the tasks that I regularly use Accordance for however, in the other software setting up the type of queries I run is higly time consuming and overly cumbersome! Not to mention the other software company doesn't even have a number of the texts I use in Accordance! So, like you I hope and strongly want Accordance to succeed!

Can you say VAPORWARE! It isn't coming. Please prove me wrong by releasing something. Until then, I assume syncing will never be a part of Accordance apart from Dropbox.

On that I think we all can agree. Let us do it.

This module is useful but not as much as I hoped it would be: 1. The text is vowel-pointed but lacs accentuation. 2. Although the tagging is very detailed, there are issues which can make search results highly inaccurate. E.g., if the word אלהים is uninflected, it is tagged as a "אלהים Noun Proper Deity", but all inflections with suffixes or in the construct state are tagged as "אלה Noun Comon Masculine Plural Devine." Thus, a search for אלהים will not find inflected forms like אלהיהם, אלהיו, אלהי, etc., which is highly confusing as it omits about half the occurrences of the word "Elohim." Also, it does not take much knowledge of Biblical Hebrew to know that "Elohim" is not uses as a proper noun in the Tanach, but can be inflected and qualified with modifiers and suffixes. 3. The tagging makes use of questionable classifications like "Priestly Prose", "Jahwist Prose", "Elohist Prose", "Lay Prose", "JPoetry", "LPoetry", etc. 4. There is no explanation for the complex grammatical codes used in the syntax tagging. For example, "SR-CIC Temp timePoint" is not easy to decipher - there is no explanation for it in the glossary nor in the instant details. These codes need to be learned from the Andersen-Forbes Grammar. 5. The tagging can be very useful for searching (except for issues similar to the those shown above in no. 2 and below in no. 6). E.g. you can search for every occurrence of יהוה as the subject of a sentence, or as the direct object, indirect object, etc., which is great. 6. The grammatical tagging is sometimes inconsistent for the same word and same function in different passages. E.g. in Gen 8:20 "ליהוה" is said to be the "indirect object," but in Gen 4:3 "ליהוה" is supposedly the "direct object." The correct identification would be that only "מנחה" is the direct object, while "ליהוה" is the indirect object in Gen 4:3. Also, "מאת" is tagged as "normal" (non-construct) in the phrase "מאת יום", but as "construct" in the phrase "מאת שנה". In both cases the word is actually in the construct state based on its form and function in the sentence. Such inaccuracies or inconsistencies in the tagging makes search results untrustworthy and less accurate than expected. 7. The syntax trees give detailed information about the authors' perspective on the grammatical relationship between the words and phrases. Again, the Andersen-Forbes grammer will be needed in order to understand the linguistic codes.

I have just about decided that this is my last post about this issue and that I'm simply moving on to use a program that will sync reliably. Apparently Accordance management and the owner are still unwilling to give an update and respond to concerns. We are now in Dec 2024 which is more than two years past the release of Accordance 14. I have compiled a list below of the official communication that I have received about syncing and the cloud. I think you can see from the list below why I am frustrated about the issue of syncing especially. I have emails that were older that I have deleted but this is the communication that I kept. I really like Accordance and want it to succeed. Syncing is a must for me and this delay is beyond acceptable. It is a headache to try to move my notes etc. between my devices. Sometimes mobile syncing works and sometimes it doesn't. This doesn't even touch on the problem of note corruption. Perhaps this will give management some insight as to why we are skeptical about its release and the silence is only feeding that skepticism. PLEASE GIVE US SOMETHING OFFICIAL. Accordance 14 Official Release Announcement (still on website) - Nov 22, 2022 - “And we’re just getting started! Accordance 14 is officially released, but there are still new features to be added over the next few weeks.” Email - Dec 12, 2022 (almost two years ago) - “We do not know the exact day that it will be released by the programming team. It should be soon. The new syncing system is being worked on and has been being developed for over a year now. “ Email - May 10, 2023 - “We have been waiting for two long years here also. We are also still waiting on the web version of Accordance. We are still being told that both of these features should be ready before too long.” Email Feb 8, 2024 - “We are actually getting an update from the programmers and upper management at a meeting on this later today. . They are still saying it will probably be this year. We are well aware that they have been in the works for 4 years now. Message from Accordance Feb 15, 2024 -“Keep this under wraps since it's not set in stone yet, but I'm hearing potentially around April to have an early alpha of Cloud (not sure if it'll be a customer beta yet or just internal alpha). Syncing may also become available for beta testing by then, barring nothing else major comes up from Apple or anyone to get in the way of progress on it.” Forum Post - March 6, 2024 -“From what I've heard from programmers, it looks reasonable we could see a beta sometime this Spring.” Forum Post - June 18, 2024 (over five months ago) - “Current projections show that we are closing in on a beta version of enhanced syncing.” Forum Post June 18, 2024 -“It is great to hear that syncing is the #1 priority for Accordance. I'm assuming that means that with the full development team working on it, Accordance can commit to a release by the end of the year at the latest? “Accordance response: “I'm doing my best. Pretty sure it'll be sooner than that.”

As I do my work in Accordance, I typically report language errors I find in Greek and Hebrew. However, some of the errors I have found have left me with a distinct concern about quality. I thus have a general question about the Accordance policy. Does Accordance require original modules to be created, proofed and/or entered by individuals with a high enough proficiency in the applicable language, to avoid silly and obvious mistakes?

A quick update from Accordance: It is our policy to not publicly discuss staffing changes at Accordance. We also ask that users refrain from discussing such matters on the forums. Development continues on the program and on synching. Accordance 14.0.11 should be released soon, and progress is being made on synching by our programming and development team. We are also currently interviewing for two full-time JavaScript/TypeScript programming positions. If you or someone you know are interested in working at Accordance, please contact us.

I always thought I would pay more and have said so a few times on the forum. But now it would depend on the direction they go in. For instance, I don’t see a lot of new Bible study features being developed (how can they; do they only have one programmer left?), the ones I’m most interested in, and a lot of the new modules are ones nobody asked for. I get the impression that the owner wants Accordance to be an electronic bookstore and divert profits, if any, to support his brick-and-mortar bookstores. I don’t see profits being reinvested in Accordance. They need more staff, e.g., programmers, not less.

I think he has spoken, in that actions (and nonactions) speak louder than words. Of course, it’s his prerogative for whatever reason. The sad thing is that I always thought that if Accordance was ever in financial trouble following the past business model, imho, a more ministry-based model where every decision wasn’t based on dollars and cents, e.g., standard resources used to be offered even at a loss, many would answer a public appeal for financial help, including making donations and accepting increased prices. And I think it still would happen if they were just honest and open about what was happening behind the scenes. What I fear is that their business model has changed, and they fear us knowing that.

Another "wrench in the gears" that could come into play is that with Dropbox corrupting some peoples files, those files will need to be cleaned up before trying to start up inhouse syncing. I believe this is being worked on as I was asked for one of my messed up files recently so it could be cleaned up. So I took that as a sign that they are actively trying to get things working well before releasing it and have to deal with peoples corrupted files then causing problems in the inhouse system. But that is my guesswork, not any official statement. We should try praying; whether for the owners, the coders, the business as a whole, or all of the previous ... including the users! 🙂

Brian, I agree with the point Daniel is making that Accordance have the sales figures for both of the versions of the Jewish Study Bible and both of the versions of the Jewish Annotated New Testament so should be able to estimate likely sales for the additional Jewish Annotated Apocrypha as most people will want the set and while there are some users who contribute to the forum, they are a fraction of the full Accordance user base so looking at sales figures is probably a better indication for possible sales. a politician once said that if he received a letter, he estimated that at least another 20 people felt that way. So using that logic, with 20 users voting, the actual pool of purchasers would be more but the historic sales figures would be more accurate and the poll is just an indication of those who are active on the forum. But looking at the recent posts, there has been a definite shift in who is posting and the subjects raised compared to a few years ago.

That sounds reasonable. I hope they are still working on updates as well. It would just be nice to hear details from management directly.

Not surprised at all, unfortunately. I check the forums every day just to see if some miracle has happened.....sometimes I even make it 3 days without checking.... I'll try to continue to keep my expectations low.

Has anyone requested this? If not, please add it to the list.

I also think it is essential that we get a list of changes made in every module update. It will make for very good quality control, just like you let us know what is updated in every new release of the program itself. We're in the dark as to what is changing with every module update.

I really don't know how anyone could come up with the translation shown above, unless he/she has never read the Tanach in Hebrew. Or, unless this is an automatic or AI translation which was not well proofed. @Dr. Nathan Parker, perhaps you should follow this up with the publishers/translators. (See first post above). There are enough examples in the Tanach to make it clear that "יש לאל ידי" never means "God is responsible for my welfare." "יש לאל ידי" = "it is in my power/ability" "אין לאל יד" = "it is not in my power/ability"

Okay, which linguistic theory or school of thought are you most in line with? Are you influenced by structuralism, distributional analysis, or Chomskyan generative linguistic theory? Once you figure that out then you will know which of the above Synax databases will match your assumptions best. Personally, however, I think it is much better to search all the databases you have access to as a way of double (or even triple) checking your search results. (1) (HMT-W4) Michigan-Claremont-Westminster Electronic Hebrew Bible Was first archived at the Oxford Text Archive (OTA) in 1987 meaning that Some form/version of this text has been avaible to the public since 1987. Then a little after the the world wide wide web became public in 1991 the database was then also avaible from the Westminster Hebrew Institute(now know as the J. Alan Groves Center for Advanced Biblical Research). The strength of this text is one of the most widely used morphological databases of the Hebrew Bible. The weakness of this text is that is does not contain syntax taging and it is not hyperlinked to a textual apparatus. (2) (MT-ETCBC-A) with Apparatus Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with ETCBC Morphology and Apparatus The strengths this text has both the morphology of the ETCBC and the apparatus of the BHS. (3) (MT-ETCBC Bundle) Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with ETCBC Morphology (WIVU) and Syntax The strengths of this bundle s that you get both the Morphology ETCBC and the ETCBC syntax (database / trees / documentation) A weakness is that this not hyperlinked to a textual apparatus. (4) (BHS-T) Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with Apparatus and tagging The Westminster morphology text is a much older version (4.14) but it's strength or advantage is that has been modified with hyperlinked sigla to textual apparatus of the BHS. This text also comes with the apparatues. This was Accordance first Hebrew Bible to come with an apparatus. It's weakness is of course the older morphology and errors that since been corrected. Some people prefer the ETCBC morphology and others prefer the Westminster morphology (some prefer something else). However, all the texts above sometimes have typos and errors, but they usually do all have the same error this another reason why it is good to use more than one text to double check your work. Here are a few example:

All of the above text are diplomatic transcriptions of the Leningrad Codex. The ETCBC differes with the Westminster in your list concerning morphology/linguisitic philosophy and it has syntaxt tags that BHS tagged the HMT-W4 does not. For true scholarly work it is best to test your quiries on both the Westminster Morphological database and the ETCBC. No, one text is going to get things right all the time, and more importantly because of the different linigistic philosophies they can both be radically different but correct giving you more insight into words and the greater pericope. (1) Biblia Hebraica with Westminster Hebrew Morph 4 (HMT-W4 ) The complete text of the Hebrew Bible, following the Biblia Hebraica Leningradensis, with the Groves-Wheeler Westminster Hebrew Morphology 4.20 (there is a more update version of this that neither Accordance nor Logos has for some reason). This module includes vowel pointing, cantillation marks, and lemma and grammatical tagging information for each word in the text. The text claims to be almost identical to the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. https://accordancebible.com/product/biblia-hebraica-with-westminster-hebrew-morph-4/ More (historical) information: "The electronic version -- in its final form -- reflects as closely as possible the 1987 BHS biblical text (consonants, vowels, cantillation) only. This version of the text is sometimes known as the CCAT eBHS. This is what can be obtained generally on the Internet, such as at the OTA archives. This text was then used as the basis for the Groves-Wheeler Hebrew Morphology (MORPH). In the process of this semi-automated parsing, over 600 deviations from the original CCAT eBHS were made. MORPH includes the biblical text as one of the fields of each data record and many of those deviations are marked in the raw (ASCII) form of MORPH with a square bracket and a number. This "Westminster note" explains various decisions which had to be made, one of those being where MORPH's interpretation of L at a certain place is different from BHS' and so forth. In addition, there are a large number of changes where we have changed the "morphological slash" due to a difference in parsing from the original typist. Since the first version of MORPH was released, the database has been distributed to various individual scholars, cross-checked against other databases, and used in nearly every "Bible" software that offers access to the original texts. All this usage over a ten year period has generated an ever decreasing number of corrections to the consonants and vowels, almost always in the direction of L, away from BHS. Since MORPH's biblical text did not include the accents, the accents probably have a significant number of errors in them. However, even so, MORPH's Hebrew text is not a precise representation of L. For example, MORPH follows BHS in the vocalization of the parallel passage in Numbers where only the consonants stand. So MORPH is somewhere between BHS (1987) and a "diplomatic" representation of L." (Tue, 31 Oct 2000 Kirk Lowery) (2) BHS Hebrew (Apparatus, ETCBC) The complete text of the Hebrew Bible, following the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, with ETCBC Morphology. This module includes vowel pointing, cantillation marks, and lemma and grammatical tagging information for each word in the text. The BHS Apparatus is included with this purchase, and the text is marked with the sigla for the notations in the apparatus (3) Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with ETCBC Morphology (WIVU) and Syntax The ETCBC Advanced database of the Hebrew Bible (formerly known as WIVU database), contains the scholarly text of the Hebrew Bible with linguistic markup developed by the Werkgroep Informatica at the Free University (WIVU) of Amsterdam and edited by Eep Talstra of the Eep Talstra Centre for Bible and Computer (ETCBC). Eep Talstra was the founder of the Eep Talstra Centre for Bible and Computer. The centre was previously known as the Werkgroep Informatica Vrije Universiteit (WIVU), was renamed in honor of Eep Talstra when he retired in 2012. https://accordancebible.com/product/hebrew-masoretic-text-with-etcbc-morphology-wivu-with-syntax/ More information: The WIVU database = aims(or at least on the aims was) to distinguish between distributional ('atoms') and functional data (phrases, clause, sentences, paragraphs) atoms are tagged with functional syntactical labels as well. Higher literary-critical issues have some tagging, and instead of simply lemma, it uses Lexeme. Takes a bottom up approach and searches are constructed based on a different logic than the Anderson-Forbes and the Groves-Wheeler Westminster Hebrew Morphology. (3) Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia Tagged this uses the Groves-Wheeler Westminster Hebrew Morphology 4.14 while the HMT-W4 Groves-Wheeler uses the Westminster Hebrew Morphology 4.20. I would use (1) over (3) for morphological searches. Grace and Peace, Brian

I agree. I would be willing to pay more depending on what I see out of Accordance and what we hear from the owner/management. I spent by far less this year in Accordance than any previous year. I haven't bought ANYTHING in the last 7 months. I need to see some evidence that my investment is sound and that means delivering on promises. I need to see a commitment to the mobile platform. Then and only then will I consider paying more. I will not spend another cent until I hear something from management and the owner.

I, for one, would be willing to pay a price increase and I know others who would as well. We need Accordance to be healthy and available. Hearing an honest update from management would help.

@Accordance Enthusiast thank for for documenting this!

I'm not a programmer, so I don't 100% understand what the roadblocks are, so I'm just speaking in a personal capacity as a fellow Accordance user and just personally "thinking out loud". From reading through this thread, the last post from Silas mentioned some overhauling of the library management with the new syncing system. While that sounds nice (and would make for a nice future addition), trying to add that in with the new syncing system may be more than necessary at the moment. I'd rather personally see a phased release structure where shorter-term, we can at least pivot off of Dropbox and get our content migrated to Accordance's in-house syncing, even if the UI and what currently syncs is similar to what we have with Dropbox today, then add additional functionality on top of it later. That would also give us all a chance to get our hands on it and offer feedback on any changes/enhancements we'd like to see. I already closed out my personal Dropbox account, so I'm as eager to start syncing with the new system as anyone else (and I have four computers, an iPhone, and an iPad). That's just my personal 2 cents.

I sync across all my devices with the other platform. I have seen people wanting to sell their Accordance on the Facebook page. I clearly do not understand their business model, but one thing I do see is that many Accordance users are leaving or are just not using this product like it was in the past. I am not sure what is happening behind the scenes.

Nathan, the publisher is B & H Academic. https://bhacademic.bhpublishinggroup.com/product/apocryphal-prophets-and-athenian-poets-3/apocryphal-prophets-and-athenian-poets/#flipbook-sampler/ It would be a good work to have in Accordance.

1) Yes, our release of WHM 4.22 had issues with it, so it was revoked. As I explained in the thread where that discussion happened, I re-issued HMT-W4 (a.k.a. “Hebrew Bible (Biblia Hebraica) Tagged”) version 2.2, which contained WHM 4.20, but since this was a reverse update, the only way for users to return to version 2.2 was to delete the module from their library and re-install with Easy Install. 2) I am currently working on this update, which will have many improvements in how vowels and cantillation marks are displayed to avoid clashes (or overlapping) of different points. My work will allow for much faster and more reliable releases of WHM versions in the future. I can confirm that HMT-W4 version 3.1 which is built from WHM 4.22 parses these two instances of yom as being in the absolute state, not in the construct state. Regarding errors in the parsing of HMT-W4, they should be reported directly to the Groves Center. If you need their contact email to report an error in morphological parsing, you can DM me. When I release HMT-W4 version 3.2, which will be very soon, I will make a detailed post in the official Module Development forum.

This thread has been going on for 12 years. John Wycliffe did it faster…😁

I really do prefer accordance for all the reasons. But the sheer u reliability of notes and highlights (even without syncing) is disastrous and so I’m needing a stable solution NOW. Not some unknown point in the future.

Syncing or not, there is too much I use accordance for that I can't do in the other program, for better and worse. But the vaporware problem (and failure to be honest about it) regarding v14 is beyond disappointing. This is one reason I'm on the forum much less than ever. But I don't want to get into all that again.

This translation is so disappointing! Look, the sale is great and the prices are good, but many of the modules are not quite of acceptable quality. The first verse I checked between the Hebrew and English was Sirach 5:1, and there was a very clear mistake in the translation: "ואל תאמר יש לאל ידי" was translated as '"nor say, 'God is responsible for my welfare.'" Anyone who knows Hebrew, will know that "לאל ידי" is an expression meaning "in the power of my hand" or "in my own ability." Yet this translation which is supposed to be a quality translation by scholars got it wrong - obviously wrong. Just reading the context of the verse makes the mistake painstakingly clear: "אל תשען על חילך ואל תאמר יש לאל ידי, אל תשען על כוחך ללכת אחר תאות נפשך׃" - Hebrew "Do not rely upon your wealth nor say, “God is responsible for my welfare”. Do not rely upon your strength to follow after that which you long for." - Official Translation The English translation SHOULD say: "Do not rely upon your wealth nor say, “IT IS IN MY OWN ABILITY”. Do not rely upon your strength to follow after that which you long for."

BEN SIRA ENGLISH Ben Sira English translation (BENSIRA-E) Translation by Benjamin H. Parker and Martin G. Abegg, Jr. (See the file “BENSIRA - Read me first” for more details.) Copyright ©2008 OakTree Software, Inc. Version 1.3 It is available from the link that @Kristin shared above (thanks for sharing the link, I should have done that).

Seeing as nobody has replied to this forum in a few months, I was wondering if anyone had any luck with running Accordance on WINE. I finally made the complete switch to Linux a few months ago, and when I need to run Accordance, I do so on a Windows virtual machine. Everything on my Linux desktop works almost flawlessly, and Accordance is the only application I regularly need that does not run. Even if there was a decently running web app, it would be enough for me to delete my virtual machine. Perhaps those of us who are tinkerers can put our collective heads together and see if we can't get this thing working! On another note, not that I have a say, but in the past few years, Linux desktop usage has risen from a fraction of a percent of desktop users to ~4.5%, a massive increase despite still being the minority. If Accordance ever does decide a Linux port is a worthwhile investment, perhaps you could consider Flatpak? Flatpak apps are sand-boxed and therefore designed to get around the problems of different support for different distros. It is also the basis of both Gnome's Software Center and KDE Plasma's Discover Store. It could solve exactly the development and technical support problems that have prevented Accordance from porting to Linux thus far. Just a thought!

Any news on when an updated iOS widget will be available? Ever since upgrading to iOS 18, I’ve been checking the app updates daily to see anything about Accordance because I miss the easy access to modules so much. It’s such a handy app to have for quick reference to scripture and dictionaries, but I’m finding it more cumbersome without the widget due to the several precise taps needed to switch modules within the app. Thanks for all your work!

@Kristin also emailed me her examples. I have forwarded her examples onto @David Lang, plus he'll likely see this thread as well. He would be the best one to provide insight on it or brief me and I can provide it. If I hear anything from him, I'll let you know, otherwise he can also post directly if that would be easier.

Hi @A. Smith, Thank you for your response, ya, I unfortunately do have examples. However, with this specific post I am actually just hoping to get to the bottom of "why" there are so many examples, as I am concerned that the language level of the people creating the modules is not sufficient.

I echo the frustrations voiced regarding the incapability of exporting one's own User Notes. Since Accordance doesn't allow a simple copy/paste of more than 500 paragraphs, my primary concern is inability to back-up 12 years of work (my Genesis notes alone occupy 50 single-spaced pages). However, I just discovered a solution which might work for others so I am sharing it here (using Windows commands): Open your User Notes in Accordance Ctrl-A to Select All R-click then select: Print Selection Accordance print window pops up; change Print option to PDF (I selected: Microsoft Print to PDF) Click Print "Save Print Output As" window pops up; select your destination (Eg. Desktop) then click Save When I completed the above steps it then took Accordance a couple minutes to scan through and save all my User Notes. When the dust settled and all my blue Select All text stopped flickering I went to my desktop and double clicked the icon. Instead of the PDF opening in an internet window as I had expected, it opened in Microsoft Word. I then copied and pasted the entirety from that document into a new Microsoft Word document which is completely editable and then I saved that file separately. Hopefully that helps some. Yah bless you all!

Marco, I do not disagree with you at all. However, this was never the way Accordance announced upgrades to their program in the past. In fact here is a quote from Dr J around 2013: "As for announcing such things in advance, I think you know we are allergic to to vaporware, or anything that smells like vaporware. We Mac users have all been burnt by it, on time or another. Call us too conservative, if you like, but we like to announce things only once we have a good idea of of when it will be available to our users." Search the forums for vaporware to find this and several other posts regarding Accordance's position on it. Accordance was adamantly opposed to announcing, forget selling, a product until it was done. I think that is why there is the concern and frustration from customers. There is probably a balance between compassion and concern going forward.

I don't understand why you are so upset with this. So it has been two years. Yes it would have been nice, if things worked out, but it did not. I work in IT and sometimes things are taking longer than expected. Talk about introducing ServiceNow within a large IT organisation. And features are being delayed. That also happens. That's life. So you paid 38 bucks. That's about 8 Starbucks cappuccinos in 2 years. That's not a lot. I'm sure you spent money worse (I have). And you still got some new features. The software is working (at least for me) and with Nathan we have someone working there that hears us. Be patient. That is a virtue. Sacha

Hi Nick, There are quite a few Accordance users her in Sydney that I know of including some who have conducted training for Accordance in the past. Not all are active on the forums so don't be discouraged by the lack of communication here. Happy for you to DM me and maybe we could make a zoom meeting happen. Michael

Maybe I am missing something here, so any unput would be appreciated. There appears to be inconsistencies in the results using the TEXT command in the MT-LXX tool when trying to search for the equivalents of תמה in the HMT-W4 and ἐξίστημι in Ralf's tagged LXX:

Yes, please! It has been 4 years since it was first suggested in this thread. We shall persevere...

Called Sales, spoke to Steve. He's going to email his manager (and cc me), who is one of the co-owners of Accordance. As soon as I hear something back, I will update this thread.

At current pace, v14 might even be finished in time to bequeath it to my children

probably about as soon as they deliver the rest of v14 . . .

Perhaps @David Lang knows the ins and outs of how Accordance produces its original language modules? Especially in light of the threads I linked above which suggest that some of the original language modules were either: 1. Not proofread, or 2. Proofed by people who are not proficient in the applicable language.

A customer brought this to my attention today. The search entry area for text and tools is a small size that is not adjustable and can be very difficult for older folks to see. Could something be added to preferences that would allow customers to enlarge the font in that location?

@Dr. Nathan Parker, I would also like to get clarity on this matter. I have reported many issues with Greek and Hebrew modules, and a number of these issues are rather obvious. It seems that at least 50% of such mistakes could have been avoided if the modules were checked by people who are proficient in the applicable language, and/or if they did actually proofread the modules against a reliable source (e.g. the manuscript photos). I will link to some previous threads below:

However, if you use this search it will come close:

At the time of this writing, I do not have additional updates to share concerning syncing or Accordance Cloud. I wish I did, and if I hear anything else, you will all be the first ones to hear it. I am speaking only as one person and as one employee and not as management, but I want to personally apologize for the amount of time it has taken to deliver syncing and Accordance Cloud. I know both are still the highest priorities to release to you all. Since I am not a programmer, I am not sure of what current technical setbacks might have occurred, but I can't wait to personally put syncing and Accordance Cloud to work in my own Bible study workflow. As a fellow Accordance user, I am as eager to use these features as the rest of us. In the meantime, there will likely be some new module releases around ETS/SBL that have been highly-requested by Accordance users, plus some ETS/SBL conference specials coming up. Thank you all again for the amount of patience and grace you have shown the Accordance team, and thank you for your daily prayers and regular support for us all. We all sincerely appreciate it.

would this work? ה??+
