Accordance Bible Software

In yesterday's post, I mentioned the "Bible Software Shootout" at the annual meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature and promised to give a more detailed account of it. While described as a shootout, it was really conducted more like a marksmanship competition...

Last week I gave you a few snapshots of my experiences here in New Orleans. As I mentioned then, we're here for the annual meetings of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) and the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL). ETS ran from Wednesday through Friday...

Yesterday I flew to New Orleans for the annual meetings of the Evangelical Theological Society and the Society of Biblical Literature. We set up our booth last night and are now demonstrating Accordance to ETS attendees...

Last week we released Accordance 8.4 and talked a fair amount about the new Bibliographic citation feature. On Friday, Rick Mansfield of This Lamp put together another one of his videos comparing Accordance's Bibliographic citations with those of another program...

In Tuesday's post, I described a new feature of Accordance 8.4 as offering "help for the Google generation." Now, if you enter a string of words and hit return, Accordance will do as it always has and assume you want an exact phrase, but if the exact phrase is not found, Accordance will offer to...

Releasing a new Accordance version to our beta-testers always inspires excitement and a little nervousness on our part. Rather than just throwing half-baked features at our testers and users, we work hard to get them right before anybody outside of Accordance staff ever sees them...

Yesterday David announced the release of version 8.4, and one of our newest features: export of bibliographic citations for tools. Today I'd like to describe this in more detail, and highlight some of its strengths. As of today we support two citation styles: SBL and Turabian...

I'm pleased to announce the release of yet another significant update to Accordance 8. Accordance 8.4 adds a number of cool new features and interface enhancements, and can be freely downloaded here...

My boss has repeatedly said that our company's greatest asset is our users. Sure, your purchases enable us to feed our families, keep the lights turned on, and fund new development, but that's not what he's talking about...

Dr. J has just released a new podcast episode covering Greek searching. If you're wanting to work with grammatically tagged Greek texts, I'd strongly recommend this podcast. Dr...

I'm sitting in the library of the local seminary checking a few modules I'm working on against the corresponding print editions. Every few minutes or so, I find myself interrupted by a loud bang...

Good interface design is tough. Like any form of engineering, the devil is in the details, and it is the little things that often determine whether a program is hard or easy to use...

Back when I was developing our first two Accordance video training DVDs (the video from which is now freely available online), I recorded the audio in my bedroom using a reasonably good microphone setup...

The other day on a Bible software forum, I saw a request for help with an interesting search. An individual wanted to find all places where someone's name is repeated, such as in Luke 10:41 where Jesus says, "Martha, Martha." How, he wondered, could this pattern be found for any name...
