Find Bible Verses Instantly with InstaVerse
If you are doing any kind of Bible study, you will frequently come across Bible references, where you need to be able to look up the reference in the Bible and read the relevant verse. Bible programs can make this quicker, but you still have to type in the Bible reference in order to find the verse you are looking for.
To help with this situation, WORDsearch have created a free program called InstaVerse, which automatically reads any Bible reference you point at with your mouse, in any web page, or in an E-mail in Outlook, or in a Word document, and instantly displays that Bible verse on the screen. The verse can then be copied and pasted into any document.
InstaVerse comes with the King James Version free, and for many people that will be all they need. Other Bible translations, and also the Greek and Hebrew can be bought to add this functionality to InstaVerse.
But what if you are using printed study materials? Well, in that case, it may be possible to use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, such as OmniPage, TextBridge, Readiris or FineReader to scan the printed notes and turn them into an electronic document, which InstaVerse can recognise. That way, your computer will look up all your Bible references for you!
What if you are building web pages, and you want the verses to appear on the page when your readers point at the Bible references with their mouse? Well, you could encourage them to download InstaVerse, or you could also build tooltip Bible verses into the web page. For this you could use overLIB, a free JavaScript library for creating popup tooltip notes. You can use InstaVerse to find the Bible verses, and then paste them into the JavaScript code, to create your own instant tooltip Bible verses!
