[edit] Release Notes

[edit] v2

  • added chapter and book navigation
  • some code cleanup

[edit] v1

Basic functionality. Enter a bible reference (i.e. Matt 1:1) and the chapter is shown with the verse selected. The current module (Bible version) used is the World English Bible (WEB). I would like to change this to a version that is more child oriented. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

[edit] TODO

  • lots !!!
  • change default module
  • add ability to download additional modules
  • add selection option to choose reference
  • speech (?) using eSpeak
  • shared with remote reading and follow along (Karaoke style)
  • format text to increase readability

[edit] Feature requests

Please add any features you would like added

  • it'd be nice if there were some basic navigation buttons, such as next chapter and previous chapter, and maybe a dropdown menu for all the books --Moocapiean
  • The New International Reader's Version (NIrV) is specifically worded to be read easily by children. You may want to include that as default module. --leetcharmer
