Introduction

This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at CrossWire's home page. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications

Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:

• Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
• Released under an open source license
• Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
• Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
• All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
• Verse and block layout
• Image support in all types of modules
• Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications

This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date.
Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge.

Legends

To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:

• AB — and-bible based on JSword, for Android OS
• ABS — Alkitab Bible Study based on JSword, uses Java 5+
• BD — BibleDesktop based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
• BT — BibleTime uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
• BPB — BPBible uses wxPython
• FB — FireBible based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
• MS — MacSword series 1
• MS2 — MacSword 2.0 released 2009-10-12 – subsequently renamed as Eloquent
• PS — PocketSword v1.x.x
• SPW — The SWORD Project for Windows
• SB — SwordBible
• ST — STEP Bible
• Xi — Xiphos (formerly GnomeSword)
• XS — xulsword

A blank entry means that it is unknown whether a feature is present. Footnotes are automatically numbered.

1. ↑ Not Win9x
2. ↑ Windows 8 is only supported on x86 processors, so Windows RT is unsupported.
3. ↑ Refer to notes if a separate download is required.
4. ↑ Version 1.3.x
5. ↑ ^{5.0 5.1} Version 1.4.x
6. ↑ BSD. Solaris cannot be supported at this time because its library support is crippled with respect to the required build tools.
7. ↑ iOS 3.1.3 and higher.
8. ↑ Currently, only the web-version. Online mobile app is coming soon.
9. ↑ Currently, only the web-version. Online and offline mobile apps are coming soon.
10. ↑ Portable both in the sense that it can be carried in ones pocket and in the sense that it runs on Windows, Mac or Linux, requiring nothing from the host computer and leaving no trace on it.
11. ↑ PortableApps.com edition for Windows only. Leaves no trace on host computer.
12. ↑ Using Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition from PortableApps.com, for Windows only, but depends on a local installation of Java. Leaves no trace on host computer. Other platforms are possible.
13. ↑ ^{13.0 13.1} Leaves traces on host computer.
14. ↑ Temporarily install to a computer and then copy the "C:\Program Files\CrossWire\The SWORD Project" folder to the USB drive. Finally, uninstall it and delete install directory. Leaves no traces on host computer.
15. ↑ Yes in theory. Similar to BD, but not tested.

1. ↑ Dates use locale appropriate date representation. Month names if used are localized, too.
2. ↑ ^{2.0 2.1} Exportable as a SWORD module
3. ↑ Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew and other modules Right-to-Left scripts are displayed from right-to-left, properly aligned and correctly shaped, and with adequate implementation of the bidirectional algorithm.
4. ↑ See Examples of Complex Rendering.
5. ↑ The application can display correctly Brahmic, Indic, and related scripts (or other scripts of similar layout) - subject to availability of adequate fonts and standardized Unicode
6. ↑ ^{6.0 6.1} To the extent that Uniscribe supports a given script
7. ↑ To the extent that Firefox supports a given script
8. ↑ Currently (iPhone OS 3.x), we can't install user fonts, so we can only display fonts that Apple has bundled with the iPhone. This will change for OS 4.0, at which point PocketSword will support this
9. ↑ With pango-graphite installed
10. ↑ Only when compiled with libsword ICU.
11. ↑ Does not use ICU and appears incapable of transliterating anything other than Greek and Hebrew. Even Greek and Hebrew transliteration is limited to a small subset of texts.
12. ↑ Applicable only for modules that have been made from OSIS with Ruby. See Japanese Bibles. Requires SWORD engine 1.5.12 or later. See also [1].
13. ↑ Notes appear in popup. Extremely long notes may appear truncated in the popup.
14. ↑ i.e. For reference elements with attribute type="x-glossary" ...
15. ↑ Modules with a different book order may have navigation problems in some front-ends.
16. ↑ As of version 1.9.0 which provides mapping between Synodal, German, Leningrad, Vulgate, KJV, and NRSV versifications and adds the IBT repository as a download location.
17. ↑ ^{17.0 17.1} Latest binary available for public download is v1.5.11, which does not support av11n. The next release, based on 1.6.x, does.
18. ↑ Including converting from one versification to another for Synodal, German, Leningrad, Vulgate, KJV and NRSV.
19. ↑ This implicitly requires support for av11n, yet showing DC books also requires being able to navigate to them via the passage selector, etc.

1. ↑ All full-featured SWORD applications should already have support for this types.
2. ↑ PNG support will be available in 1.5.12 upwards

Module Information

Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the ShortPromo link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

1. ↑ STEP's layout is so different to others that it is hard to compare. The user is given a choice between showing 1 panel or two, and whether to collapse the bookmark functionality or not. The user can also move the info/lexicon popup. Since all searches and Bible passages happen on different areas of the page, there is limited scope for layout.
2. ↑ Open text panes can by user choice be linked or unlinked and will then move together to the next reference or stay at different references
3. ↑ Only linked at the moment
4. ↑ Several bible +/-commentary texts can be displayed in a set of parallel columns
5. ↑ Used if the font is installed
6. ↑ The fonts are set in stone on a language basis
7. ↑ The fonts are set in stone on a language basis
8. ↑ The fonts are set in stone on a language basis but this is not exposed to the user.
9. ↑ This is available if compiled with ICU.
10. ↑ A per module option.

1. ↑ Automatically created searching a module first time
2. ↑ Index can also be created automatically for all installed modules if enabled.
3. ↑ For a mobile device, it's generally much faster to download an index than to create one.
4. ↑ Through plugins
5. ↑ via deleting the module or by resetting PocketSword via the iPhone System Preferences
6. ↑ User can continue to use application while index is being created.
7. ↑ Allowing phrases across verse boundaries
8. ↑ e.g. All words / Exact phrase, Regular expressions, Boolean combinations, Case-[in]sensitive, etc.
9. ↑ All words, any word, exact phrase.
10. ↑ Finds words based upon approximation.
11. ↑ ^{11.0 11.1 11.2 11.3} Commentaries when treated as Bibles
