D.S.Moses Nickerson Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I am interested in switching to accordance. Can anyone give me some suggestions to start with? Can you be a bit more specific as to what you would want to use the software for? My advice for a package to a seminary student interested in doing textual research would be drastically different than a dad wanting to lead family worship more effectively. One of the beauties of Accordance is that you don't generally have to pay for modules that you would never use; usually you can tailor things pretty nicely to your needs.

Helen Brown Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I recommend that you start with choosing a primary collection, and then decide what add-ons you need. The Graphics Bundle is our most popular add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennie Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I am a seminary student, so the capability of textual research is needed. I switched from a PC to a mac book for portability. I only took 1 year of Greek as of now. My current system was quite friendly with the interlinear editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennie Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I like BDAG and HALOT. Will the Library Collection us tagging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 You should start with a level of the Scholar's Collection as this is the one with the tagged original texts. BDAG and HALOT are on separate disks but can be added later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennie Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thanks! Is there a significant learning curve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.S.Moses Nickerson Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thanks! Is there a significant learning curve? Nope, I think you'll find it's pretty intuitive. There are some introductory videos online and free seminars that come around now and again that can give you a leg up on some of the more technical aspects. These forums are usually pretty helpful (and relatively speedy) if you hit any snags. Just make sure to run a search for your question before you post it to make sure it hasn't already been answered five times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Welcome, Kenny! As you can see, our users are a friendly and helpful group. Let me take a moment to tout our podcasts. They provide ongoing training, module reviews and other helpful information. Check out "Lighting the Lamp" on iTunes or go to this page: http://www.accordancebible.com/downloads/Podcasts . The Scholar's Collection Demo is also listed on this page. I'd recommend it and #16 The Accordance Philosophy as good places to start. #15 Graphics DVD Bundle covers the popular add on Helen mentioned. Each video is 10-15 minutes. I'd also suggest planning on building your Accordance library over time, just as you would a regular library. In fact, setting something like $30 a month aside for modules (after your initial purchase) will eventually give you a fantastic library. Some of us have been doing this for many years now.
