[Faith-talk] Cyber Hymnal

[Bill Outman]

I was able to read the lyrics fine, it was just that I was hearing the music
alongside.  

Perhaps it had been hacked but the site seemed to be up, and it indicated it
was in the process of being upgraded.  

I'm used to reading poetry, and have even written a little myself.  

I'll try Sarah's tip about hitting escape and see if it works, though
hearing the music will be helpful especially for songs I'm unfamiliar with.


Just curious, which church affiliation are you with and what grades does the
school teach?

Hi Bill,

Actually the hymn texts are written as poetry.  I use Window-Eyes, and it
reads them just fine.  The cyberhymnal name has been changed, I think, to
something like hymntime.  I think I read somewhere that it had been hacked
or something.

Blessings,

Linda

Good afternoon.



I was going through messages on this list from a while back and found a
discussion of on line sources from music.



One of the sources that Ashley mentioned was the cyber hymnal 
site, which is
www.cyberhymnal.org.



I tried it out today and it looks good.  I was able to play 
instrumental
versions of several songs and read about the history of the hymns 
and read
the lyrics.  It's a bit of a trick to do this with Jaws while the 
music is
playing, and if I really want to study the lyrics I would 
probably copy them
to Word and study them separately.



One thing that is a bit clunky is the way the on screen text is 
spaced so
that some words and names are split, so it requires a bit of 
exploration
with the cursor.



All in all, not a bad resource, though.



Bill Outman
