Timothy Jenney Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ok, everyone, how do you think we could squeeze Accordance onto an iWatch? What feature(s) would you really like to see? Which ones would you use the most? [Note: this is just for fun :-)] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Lawrence Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 For those of us with aging eyes the only way would be to have Siri to answer questions. Example: Read John 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abram K-J Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Actually, being able to pull up a Bible passage from a couple versions doesn't sound that outlandish.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Clock face with hands made up of changing Hebrew and Greek verses being read back in a variety of voices. I like Tony's suggestion, can you imagine Tweetie pie reading lxx? And a really gentle voice on the alarm reading comfortable words. ;o) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Λύχνις Δαν Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm wondering how you hold the thing. On a phone you use one hand - leaving the other phone free for that other essential item - coffee ! With the Apple Watch (it doesn't appear apple is calling it the iWatch whatever anyone else might think) it's strapped to one arm and you either have some pretty miraculous fingers or you need to use the other hand, either for simplified touch actions or on the crown wheel. And where do you put your coffee ? I wonder if you end constantly pulling it off your wrist to hold it and then putting it back on. Hmmm..... Thx D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Λύχνις Δαν Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 And then presumably the Watch has a gauge indicating when the supply is getting low. Very good. Now I can buy one Thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Jenney Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Forget Dick Tracy watches and Google Glass! As a sci-fi buff, I keep wondering when we will be able to install bio-tech ports directly into our heads, bypassing our eyes, ears, and hands altogether. The newest iPhone would just plug into the port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritandFire44 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The ideal use for the iWatch Accordance is app is to use Siri to locate verses instantly and either read it or display it. There is already an iWatch Bible App called Esv. It is very good. It reads the passage aloud from the iPhone or displays on the iWatch screen (one can of course adjust the size of the text on an iWatch for those who may find the screen hard to read). Of course, you have to locate it in a rather tedious manner on the iWatch by locating the book first, then the chapter and the verse. Why should not accordance have that feature? Displaying Greek or Hebrew text as well should pose no problem. But the most important feature that this app does not have and that is extremely powerful is to be able to speak a passage or phrase and have it be located instantly through accordance and displayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
