Hi Sharon,
I have noticed that this is happening on my Polaris, especially with any 
reference that begins with chapter 25 and above. As for my good old 
WindowEyes 9.5.4.0 on my win7 pc, things seem to work as they should. Well, 
so much for Android and Apple. SMILE!

Listening for His shout!

Subject: How Screen Readers interpret The Bible

Hi,

I just thought I’d drop in and share a couple of ways I’ve noticed about 
screen readers when  reading The Bible.  I’m thinking primarily of Voiceover 
as an example, which is easiest for me to remember since I use it most .

For one thing, there’s something called Manna.  Alex on  the version of mac 
I’m currently using,  for example,   doesn’t know what that  is and doesn’t 
bother to ask.  What is that? I wondered when i came across a devotional for 
today that had that unfamiliar word in the subject line.  So what is it? 
Make a guess.  The Children of Israel  asked that question themselves.  Did 
they decide to call it Mana, or manna?  And then, of course, there’s Job. 
Did that guy have a job that he lost along with everything else?

then there’s something that interrupts our quiet time with The Lord if you’re 
still using earlier versions of IOS.  Did you know that reading some verses 
of scripture are calendar events?  Most disturbing of  all is that sometimes 
it’s more precise, down to hours and minutes!  Take a look at a lot of 
passages and you’ll see what I mean.

But I guess Voiceover has learned  some lessons on interpretation, but you’ll 
need to keep it up to date if you want more peace of mind.
