Accessing Lexicons in iOS

[Yohanan]

hi, I am new to the Ios Accordance. When I select a Hebrew word, only the minimum dictionary opens and I have no idea how to make either BDB or DCH appear. Is there such a thing as "right click" ? Thans for any help.

[Helen Brown]

There is no right-click so the options are handled differently. If you tap a word in a Key number Bible you do get the linked Key number dictionary in Instant Details and when you Amplify. You can then Amplify from the original word in the dictionary and it will go to the top dictionary of that language.

 

When you tap a word in a tagged original text, it will display and amplify to the top dictionary of that language.

 

So the first step is to go to that section of the Library, tap Edit and drag your preferred lexicon to the top of the section. That will give you the ability to amplify to it from the original word.

 

To change the lexicon after amplifying, tap the search button and choose another lexicon by tapping on the name of the current one, and perform the search again.

Thank you both. Drag is not possible on my IPad mini last generation. As to the second solutionyou suggest Helen, I could not find a possibility to swap to another dictionary. The video is so fast that I cannot get what it is supposed to show.

Just found it! You drag thing throug the "icon" representing a "text" at the right end of its line. As to changing from one search to another dict. it remains obscure for the moment.

The most intuitive way would be to tap the title of the text and get a pop up like it does on text browsing. If we could get this changed that would really help and save some time.
