About

BibleCourier is an electronic pocket Bible designed especially for people who are blind or visually impaired. It weighs about 4 ounces (including batteries) and is about the size of a pocket New Testament — 4 by 2 by 0.75 inches — so it fits easily in a shirt pocket or a purse. Two AA batteries power it for several months of normal use, or more than 30 hours of continuous reading.

BibleCourier’s memory holds your choice of three complete Bible translations, each with both the Old and New Testaments. Every Bible text comes with a users guide in digital format. The extra Apocrypha books — Tobit, Judith, Ecclesiasticus, Wisdom, Baruch, additions to Esther, additions to Daniel, and First and Second Maccabees — are now included with the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) and the King James Version with Apocrypha (KJVA).

You can identify or switch between the three Bible versions using the “star key” and “zero key” together. Each Bible keeps its own last location and bookmarks, so you can study two translations in parallel — with each one focused on a different book, chapter, or verse.

Like a telephone keypad, BibleCourier has twelve buttons on its face, with a raised dot above the 5 key. These keys let you move quickly through the books, chapters, and verses of the audio Bible. Every key also has built-in help: hold it down until you hear two beeps.

BibleCourier has many other features, including the ability to read forward or back one sentence at a time. You can set bookmarks at favorite verses and use Power Search — repeatedly jumping halfway toward a book, chapter, or verse — to reach any spot in just a few key presses. A sleep timer can stop the reading after a set time to conserve battery power. A page of key summaries is available to help you learn these functions.
