  • There are many Bible search tools available… Why was ScriptureText developed?

  • ScriptureText combines simplicity with a somewhat unique approach to searching ancient texts. But, if you're looking for super-speedy searches, ScriptureText may not be for you.

  • Not all these texts are regarded as canon… orthodox… reliable…

  • Yes. ScriptureText is a library/reference tool.

  • How do I use the Greek?

  • select Greek New Testament, and just below, enter a greek word, part of a word, or greek phrase in lower case letters. Greek ScriptureText searches are performed without regard to accent marks. Go to a particular verse by entering the Reference in Upper-lower case (Title case) format. A Greek keyboard map is provided to help with knowing the assignment of English alphabet keys to koine Greek characters.

  • Technical support available?

  • you may write diakon2@gmail.com with questions, remarks, suggestions.

  • After I type the words or phrase I'm looking for, then what?

  • press the keyboard Enter key, or left-click the small open book button at top-right, to begin searching/finding.

  • What is the search order?

  • New Testament texts; Old Testament texts; Patristic (older to newer); Apocryphal. Each of the 4 libraries may be individually exempted from a search.

  • What happens when I click on the CEPHER logo?

  • Clicking on the CEPHER logo will display the ScriptureText KEY helps, and will re-set for using all 4 libraries during search.

  • Does the software "call home"?

  • No. ScriptureText has no internet protocol accessing, and no spyware.

  • What format is used for the document files?

  • Text, with limited chapter & verse formatting.

  • Can additional text files be brought into the ScriptureText search library folders?

  • Yes, for the APOCRYPHAL and the PATRISTIC folders. Please examine the formatting of ScriptureText library files, and adjust those files you would add accordingly (failure to do this may slow or crash search functions.) If your additional text files are large, write us, as we may be able to assist.
