SwordSearcher 6.0 Released

This poor blog sure has been neglected.

Been busy.

SwordSearcher Bible Software version 6 is now available. 2010 marks the 15th anniversary of SwordSearcher.

I love my job!

Lots of details here and here. Also got a video of some of the new features here.

I’ve recently created a SwordSearcher fan page on Facebook, too.

New version of SwordSearcher released; adds Dispensational Truth

Yes, I’ve been pretty quiet here lately — with good reason.

Version 5.4 of SwordSearcher Bible Software is finally released!

For years I’ve received requests for Clarence Larkin’s Dispensational Truth. I’m happy to report that it is now part of the SwordSearcher study library, including all of the charts.  This was a pretty big job.  The charts in the book were not suitable for scanning as they often spanned pages and just couldn’t be properly combined into single images.  So, I obtained large-format prints of the charts, then had them scanned with hardware designed to archive large blueprints.  The result is the best possible scans of these old illustrations.

You can see what else has been added here.

SwordSearcher again the “People’s Choice” at SIC 2008

For the second year in a row, SwordSearcher Bible Software has been awarded the SIAF People’s Choice for Best Personal Interest software. The award was announced at the annual Software Industry Conference in Boston, MA on July 19.

I wasn’t able to attend the conference this year.  I’m sorry I missed it.  But I’m certainly pleased to get the award again.  To whomever is voting for SwordSearcher: thank you!  (I’ve never solicited votes, so I don’t really know who you are.)

SwordSearcher Modules

Ever since SwordSearcher 4.0, there have been users sharing modules (Commentaries, Books, etc) that they have built for the software. There are quite a few of them floating around the net, so it’s high time I did something to help SwordSearcher Bible Software users find them in case there are items of interest in their study.

SSModules: Free Module Downloads for SwordSearcher Bible Software is currently in “beta.” It’s beta because there isn’t much listed there yet, but I’m working on it.  My goal is two-fold:

  1. Index many of the modules available from third parties.
  2. Upload my own “extra” modules that I have built but not added to SwordSearcher’s Deluxe study library for one reason or another.

Work will be ongoing. I don’t know how long it will be “in beta” (certainly not perpetual beta like a Google internet service), but it’s usable now, so have a visit if you’re a SwordSearcher user.  You may find something you like.
