Hi Amanda,
I found Theophilos to be quite accessible with versions of JAWS back to 5.0.
In addition, it is open source--to a degree--in that the scripting tool for
it can be used by anyone to convert text into format suitable for the
Theophilos program. I have copies of the old and new testament apocrypha's
as well as a bunch of the Gnostic Gospels and other non-canonical gospels
such as the fragmentary Gospel of Mary Magdalene, The fragmentary gospel of
Peter and the Complete Gospel Of Thomas.

I've used, or rather, tried to use, Theophilos in the past, and found that
it isn't accessible. Online Bible works though, and E-Sword works OK,
although Online Bible has a lot more material since it's been in development
since about 1993, and we've been importing and updating old modules along
with adding new ones. Most of the material is free, as is the software
itself.

Hi List,
As concerns the software/searchable bibles, has anyone tried Theophilos?
Here is the link to this free software package:
http://www.theophilos.sk/
In addition, you can get a lot of free module plug-ins for all sorts of
Bibles. I believe if you check the below link, you may see one:
http://www.meetingpoint.org/theophilos/.
If the Bible version you want is not free, then at most you pay about $15 or
so for the paid module. This isn't too large a fee for a college course.

Hi Amanda,
Yes, I bet your right about the Bible being easier to use in a searchable
format. Do you know if there is a software based bible that works with
screen readers?
God bless,
