[Faith-talk] NKJV in Accessible Format - WAS: Re: audio Bibles

Wed Nov 16 00:47:36 UTC 2011

Aurora Minstries provides the NKJV  as either 
mp3  audio Bible or as Daisy. I think I 
mementioned in my previous post that it allows 
navigation down to the chapter level. I wish it 
was to verse level as well but this would be very 
hard to implement as it would require linking to 
each verse. If you want a Bible that has 
navigation down to the verse level, you may 
consider the Portable "Book Courier" that was 
mentioned by someone earlier.   Bible Courier has 
more than 10 translations to choose from and in 
the latest incarnation actually has two rather 
than just one Bible translation on it that can be 
switchd between. bible Courier is designed 
specifically for the blind or print-disabled. it 
uses synthetic (Doubletalk) speech rather than 
human narration whereas the audio Bibles from 
Aurora are all recorded human narration.

I have heard that the "Go-Bible" that was also 
mentioned earlier in this track supposedly does 
have navigation to verse level but I have not tried or even seen any of these.

Finally, both Bible Courier and Go Bible are 
portable devices with a price tag while Aurora's 
mp3 or daisy Bibles are free of charge and can 
either be downloaded (registration and proof of 
blindness required) or mailed as mp3 or, I assume, daisy cd's.

hth and God bless,
