Accordance Bible software, one of the leading Bible programs, has a Spanish CD available again. The CD includes several versions such as Reina Valera 1960 along with Strongs numbers. It also includes a couple Bible versions that come as study Bibles. An upgrade option is available for those that have Compubiblia para Mac. Accordance is a program that I use for studying the Bible and I would recommend it to anyone looking for such software.
Program to switch languages on the Mac November 2, 2009
Posted by macfoto in General, Macintosh, Software.add a comment
One of the great features of the Mac is its support for multiple languages. This is a feature that is built into Mac OS X and many applications support multiple languages. I came across a program that allows you to easily switch between the language for a program on an individual basis, without changing it for the rest. It includes the option whether to change it just once or to keep it set to that language. The program is called Language Switcher. There are some programs that it may not work with, such as Firefox, as it isn’t native to the Mac. However, with Firefox you can download a language pack and use an add-on such as Locale Switcher.

A program I have found useful for web design is the CSS editor Style Master. The program has now been upgraded to version 5 for the Macintosh. The program allows you to design your web pages in code or design view, or a combination view. It provides easy access to CSS properties, including some of the new ones available with CSS 3. A user guide and CSS tutorial is included with the program. Style Master is also available for Windows.

Do you find your screen cluttered and haven’t found Exposé to be quit the right situation? Hiding application is always an easy thing to do, but it requires you to tell the computer to hide the applications. I found a program called AutoHide that has its only job is to automatically hide your program when you switch to another one. It also has a feature that will allow you to override it for those occasions where that is what you are wanting.
Flash Cards for the iPhone May 1, 2009
Posted by macfoto in General, Macintosh, Software, iPhone/iPod Touch.add a comment
The Spanish Anywhere app that I recently mentioned has been updated with several new features. One is a “Study Aids” section that includes flash cards based on the information contained within the dictionary application. One can select words from the dictionary that to add to one’s own personal list of words to study.
A program I am waiting to see as an iPhone app is iFlash Touch to work with iFlash, an excellent flash card program that is currently available for the Macintosh. The developer has previewed the app on his blog while it goes through the process of being evaluated by Apple and posted to the App store. The iPhone app will work by accessing cards created in the Mac application.
Update May 15, 2009 – iFlash Touch is now avaialable for the iPhone. Free for users of iFlash.
Spanish Translator app for the iPhone April 9, 2009
Posted by macfoto in Software, iPhone/iPod Touch.add a comment
Among the many applications for the iPhone are some applications for translation. If you’re looking for a Spanish dictionary Spanish Anywhere is definitely worth checking out. It is one you have to pay for, however, Spanish Anywhere works without an internet connection in contrast to many other programs. It includes:
- Dictionary, including words used in different situations.
- Verbs with conjugations.
- Phrase dictionary.
Buttons for Spanish/English makes it easy to switch between modes as to which language you want to go from and to.
Have you used this or a similar Spanish translator? What do you recommend?
