jeallman Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Is it possible to highlight more than one word at a time in the iOS version of Accordance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Terry Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It is my understanding that it is not but it is in the planning stages for a future release. The single word selection works well with the Amplify feature which is very helpful. Highlighting and copying multiple words would be helpful in a workflow process that utilized a word processor to create documents. Hang in there and be patient. The iOS app is going in the right direction and Accordance is the best Bible software out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdeacon Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I would like very much to be able to highlight multiple words or perhaps a phrase on my ipad 2. Hopefully this is "on the radar" for a "near" release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Francis Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I was informed on another thread, that the next release will have it… After joking only 7 more releases till the feature, i was told 1.5 was the going to be the next release and it should be there. -Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcdeacon Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Just for the record, verse portion highlighting does not work on my iPad with 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Knapp Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Just for the record, verse portion highlighting does not work on my iPad with 1.5. Bob: This is currently by design. Not all bible translations have sentences and displaying the text as paragraphs is one of the display setting options. So we were a little unsure how to handle this in the same way we can in tools. It is still our plan to add arbitrary text selection to all of our modules in a future release which will solve this problem once and for all. Thanks for your feedback, Scott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANorem Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The latest iteration of iOS allows sentence and paragraph highlighting in some tools, but not all, which is somewhat of a puzzle that I hope is solved at some point. Still, the Accordance app has taken major steps forward and is a wonderful tool that supplements Accordance 9.x on my Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinClay Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I too would like to be able to highlight a number of words at once without having to highlight the whole verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Francis Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yes a more natural selection like in iBooks would be ideal. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Hicks Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Any news on when we can expect highlighting random lengths of text? The current highlighting procedure requires a lot of steps and is unlike other iOS book software I have used (Kindle, iBooks). Are there plans to allow us to hold, get the handles to allow,us,to select whatever text we desire, and then choose what to do with it (highlight, amplify, etc.). Just wondering....

Helen Brown Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yes, Scott has said elsewhere that he is working on this function but it may be a while yet before it is released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Arnold Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 So, it seems that highlighting multiple words is still not possible. I am running 1.7.6 on an iPad Air. Anything new in the last 18 months? I couldn't even highlight a whole verse. What am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Version 2.0 will bring arbitrary text selection, and should be available within a couple weeks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
