Living In The WORD — Daily Reading Notes Test 4 - User Instructions

This program contains five complete offline public-domain Bible versions, an
offline general English dictionary, an offline Bible dictionary, an offline
Strong's Concordance indexed to the King James Version, and four complete
365-day reading plans.

TO START
After installation, open the Living In The WORD shortcut on the Desktop or in
the Windows Start Menu. The shortcut starts the program without console chatter
while the offline resources load.

MAIN WINDOW LAYOUT
- The top row contains Open a Passage, Translation, Bible Reading In A Year,
  Listen From Here, and Help Menu.
- The center contains an open burgundy Bible. The underlined text on its left
  page reads Ephesians 2:19. Tab to the picture description for a brief JAWS
  announcement; decorative page text is not announced.
- Passage 1 through Passage 5 appear along the bottom.
- Tab and Shift+Tab travel through the same main-window controls in opposite
  directions. The Bible-picture description and Passage tabs are announced in
  either direction.
- When a passage is open, Scripture replaces the Bible picture. Sighted mouse
  users may use the visual scroll controls at the upper-right and lower-right.
  Those controls are not included in keyboard Tab navigation.
- Click a verse or press Enter on it to open Verse Options: Add a Note for This
  Verse, Search My Verse Notes, Listen to Verse, Parallel Passages, Strong's
  Concordance, Look Up Passage on the Internet, and Back. Escape also closes
  Verse Options.
- From an open main Scripture passage, Escape closes only that passage and
  returns the same Passage tab to its empty main screen. Other Passage tabs are
  not changed.

VERSE NOTES
- Focus a Scripture verse and press Enter. Add a Note for This Verse is the
  first choice in Verse Options.
- The note window places focus in a multiline edit box. Type the note, then Tab
  to Save Note. Escape or Cancel returns without saving.
- From Scripture, press Tab once for the focused verse's Notes list. Up and
  Down Arrow read one complete note at a time. A ding sounds beyond the first
  or last note without wrapping the list.
- If no notes exist, the list announces that condition and explains how to
  return with Shift+Tab and add one.
- Press Enter on an existing note for Edit Note, Delete Note, and Back.
  Deleting a note requires confirmation.
- Search My Verse Notes searches every saved note for a word or phrase without
  regard to uppercase or lowercase letters. Up and Down Arrow read the complete
  results. Enter opens the exact verse and focuses the matching note.
- In a daily reading, press Enter on the focused verse for Add a Note, Read
  Notes, Search My Verse Notes, and the existing verse study choices. Daily
  notes are shared with normal Scripture passages. Tab from daily Scripture
  still moves directly to Mark This Reading Complete.
- Notes are attached to the Scripture reference and therefore appear in every
  Bible translation. The active translation is recorded when a note is created
  or edited.
- Notes and their automatic backup are stored in the current Windows user's
  local application-data folder, outside the installed program. Updates do not
  erase them. Open Help and choose Using Verse Notes for exact backup-recovery
  instructions.
- The primary file is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Living In The WORD\Verse-Notes.json. The
  backup is Verse-Notes.backup.json in the same folder. If the primary cannot
  be read, the program tries the backup automatically.
- To restore manually, close Living In The WORD. Press Windows+R, enter
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\Living In The WORD, and press Enter. Rename Verse-Notes.json
  to Verse-Notes-damaged.json. Copy Verse-Notes.backup.json in the same folder
  and rename the copy Verse-Notes.json. Reopen the program and verify several
  notes before removing the damaged file.

SCRIPTURE TEXT NAVIGATION
- Scripture is displayed in a read-only text document.
- Each loaded book begins with a Book heading, and every chapter begins with a
  Chapter heading. These headings are included in all five Bible versions and
  in the daily-reading window.
- Up and Down Arrow move exactly one Bible verse backward or forward.
- Left and Right Arrow move one character backward or forward.
- Ctrl+Left Arrow and Ctrl+Right Arrow move one word backward or forward.
- Hold Shift with the Left or Right Arrow commands to select text.
- Ctrl+C copies exactly the selected characters. Living In The WORD directly handles this
  command so the selection does not expand back to the beginning of the verse.
- Number Pad 4 and 6 provide Left and Right Arrow movement even with Num Lock on.
- Number Pad 8 and 2 provide Up and Down Arrow verse movement when no modifier
  key is held.
- The program title contains the current book, chapter, verse, and Passage tab.
  Use the active screen reader's title-reading command to hear it.

MAIN COMMAND SHORTCUTS

  in editable fields.

OTHER HOTKEYS
- F1 opens an Up and Down Arrow list of all hotkeys. Escape closes it.
- Control+F1 turns Living In The WORD Keyboard Help on or off. While it is on,
  letter keys and top-row number keys announce their program commands without
  performing them.

  Bible-in-a-Year Reading Plans, Using Strong's Concordance, and About.
- O opens the Book, Chapter, and Verse window.
- P announces the focused book, chapter, verse, Bible version, and Passage tab.
- C moves to verse 1 of the next chapter and announces the book and chapter.
- Shift+C moves to verse 1 of the previous chapter and announces it.
- Successful C and Shift+C chapter changes play Ronald Worley Junior's approved
  0.75-second custom sound before the chapter announcement. Another key can
  interrupt the sound. The screen reader speaks the chapter only after an uninterrupted
  sound finishes. No sound plays when no chapter change occurs.
- S stops offline Scripture narration.
- R reads with the selected offline narrator from the focused verse to the end
  of the loaded book or daily reading.
- A selects the next narrator. Shift+A selects the previous narrator.
- Left Bracket reduces narrator speed by 10 percent. Right Bracket increases it
  by 10 percent. Backslash restores 100-percent speed.
- F2 opens the accessible Scripture Narrator Settings dialog.
- T announces the current reference and Passage tab number.
- V stops reading and switches to the next installed Bible version.
- W opens the offline definition of the selected word or the word at the caret.
  Bible-specific results from Easton's and Smith's dictionaries are presented
  first, followed by general English definitions from Princeton WordNet.
- In a definition, Up and Down Arrow read the definition one line at a time.
- Tab to the Scripture references list, use Up and Down Arrow to choose a
  reference, and press Enter or the Go To Focused Passage button to open it in
  the current study tab. Escape closes the definition without changing passages.
- G opens the offline Strong's Concordance. With the King James Version active,
  place the text cursor on a word and press G to list the Strong's number or
  numbers associated with that word in the focused verse. In another version,
  G announces how to press V until King James Version is selected. The numbered
  Strong's button still permits a manual search for an English word, a Greek
  number such as G26, or a Hebrew number such as H430.
- In Strong's results, use Up and Down Arrow to choose an entry and press Enter
  to move to its read-only definition. In the definition, use Up and Down Arrow
  to read slowly. Tab to the verse-occurrence list; use Up and Down Arrow to
  read complete King James verses. Press Enter or Go To Focused Passage to open
  the chosen verse in the current study tab. Escape closes Strong's and returns
  focus to the Scripture text.
- Shift+R opens the Parallel Verses list.
- Ctrl+S opens word or phrase search.
- The five independent study tabs are named Passage 1 through Passage 5.
- Ctrl+Tab moves to the next Passage tab, leaves keyboard focus on that tab,
  and immediately makes JAWS announce both the tab and its current reference,
  such as "Passage 2 tab, John 3:16." An unused tab is announced as empty.
  It should not add the program name or the inaccurate Control+Page Down
  instruction.
- When the Ctrl+Tab command is released, a tab containing Scripture returns
  focus to its text at the exact cursor position and scroll position where it
  was left. An empty tab remains focused as a tab.
- Q exits Living In The WORD.
- Enter or Spacebar activates a focused button.
- Escape closes the current secondary window.

SCRIPTURE NARRATION AND SCREEN-READER READING
- The approved 6.15-second opening sound plays when the program starts. JAWS
  begins the welcome announcement at 5.15 seconds while the final second fades.
- World English Bible is the default version when the program first opens.
- Heart, Isabella, Michael, Lewis, and Daniel are included as fully offline
  Kokoro Scripture narrators. Lewis is the default.
- The higher-quality narrator model uses consistent speech leveling with peak
  protection. It has no separate user volume control.
- P announces the focused book, chapter, verse, Bible version, and Passage tab.
- R sends the focused verse and all remaining verses in the loaded book or
  daily reading to the selected offline narrator.
- S or either Control key stops reading.
- The Scripture cursor follows the narrator one verse at a time. Stopping leaves
  focus on the last verse being narrated.
- Insert+Down Arrow remains the active screen reader's Read All command.
- JAWS uses its direct application interface. Other screen readers, including
  NVDA, receive standard Windows accessible live-region and focus information
  for menus, controls, dictionaries, concordance results, and status messages.

PASSAGE SELECTION AND SEARCH
- Type the beginning of a Bible book in the Bible Book Search field. Each new
  character narrows the matching list while preserving Bible order. For
  example, J shows every book beginning with J, and JO narrows the list to
  books beginning with JO.
- If a character cannot continue any displayed book name, one system beep
  sounds. The invalid character is ignored and the current list remains open.
- JAWS announces the number of matching books and the first matching book.
- Focus remains on the matching-books list while typing. The accepted search
  text is also displayed visually without causing a second spoken key echo.
- Keep focus in the search field and use Up and Down Arrow to move through the
  matching books. Press Tab to accept the focused book and move directly to
  Chapter. The matching-books list is not an additional Tab stop.
- Press Enter to open the focused book at its beginning without choosing a
  chapter or verse.
- Backspace removes the last search character and expands the matches. Escape
  clears a search first; press Escape again to close the passage window.
- Select a book alone, a book and chapter, or all three fields.
- A book-only search loads the whole book and focuses its beginning.
- Adding a chapter focuses its first verse while retaining the whole book.
- Adding a verse focuses that exact verse while retaining the whole book.
- Living In The WORD preserves the selected chapter or verse while the read-only text is
  populated, preventing focus from returning to chapter 1.
- The main window and all application dialogs open maximized so JAWS can access
  the complete displayed verse and dialog contents.
- Word and phrase searches ignore capitalization and punctuation.
- Search results contain full references and verses. Ctrl+Space selects
  individual results; Ctrl+A selects all results.
- Press Enter on a focused result, or use Go To Focused Passage, to open that
  verse in the current study tab.
- Escape closes Search and restores the Scripture cursor and scroll position
  that were active before Search opened.

BIBLE-IN-A-YEAR READING PLANS
- Activate Bible-In-A-Year Plans or press number row 6.
- The first menu contains only Continue My Daily Reading Plan and Choose or
  Change a Reading Plan. The actual first list item receives focus once without
  a separate repeated menu-title message. Use Arrow keys, then Enter or Spacebar.
- Tab to Close Daily Reading on the opening screen to close the entire Daily
  Reading window and return to the main Bible screen. Escape also closes it.
- Choose or Change a Reading Plan offers Old Testament, New Testament, Whole
  Bible, and Whole Bible Chronologically. Each contains 365 readings.
- After choosing a plan, Track This Plan on This Computer saves progress
  locally. Read Today's Reading Without Tracking opens today's calendar-position
  reading and saves no schedule or completion record.
- A tracked plan can Start Day 1 Today or Use Today's Calendar Position. Start
  Day 1 Today makes today the first reading and finishes the day before the
  anniversary. Calendar Position uses today's month and day in the yearly plan.
- February 29 is a catch-up day with no new assignment. Each yearly schedule
  therefore contains exactly 365 readings.
- Continue My Daily Reading Plan contains Read Today's Reading and See My
  Missed Readings.
- A reading opens in a dedicated read-only Scripture screen. The text cursor is
  at the beginning. Use normal JAWS reading and text-navigation commands.
- Press G from the Daily Reading text to open Strong's for the focused word.
  Exact word-to-number matching requires the King James Version. In another
  version, the program explains how to use V to select King James.
- C and Shift+C move to the next or previous chapter included in the current
  daily reading. P announces the focused reference and Bible version. R begins
  reading with the active screen reader; S or either Control key stops it.
- Press V from the Daily Reading text to switch to the next installed Bible
  version. The same plan, date, day number, and assignment remain open.
- From the Scripture text, press Tab for Mark This Reading Complete, See My
  Missed Readings, and Return to the Daily Plan Menu. The Mark button remains
  in the Tab order after a reading has already been recorded.
- Mark This Reading Complete announces "Daily reading record updated" for a new
  completion. If the reading was already recorded, it says so. If tracking is
  off, it explains how to choose Track This Plan on This Computer.
- See My Missed Readings lists each past unfinished date. Today and future dates
  are not called missed. Press Enter or Spacebar on a date to open its reading.
- The encouragement reminder begins only after five past reading days are
  missed. Today's unfinished reading does not count toward the five. The
  reminder appears no more than once per calendar day while a plan remains five
  or more days behind, and it offers to open the missed-reading list.
- Prepare Email copies the report and opens the default email program. Copy
  Report for Text Message copies it for Phone Link or another messaging
  program. The user chooses the recipient and sends the message.
- Set Up Optional Reminder Information can store a first name and email address
  only on the user's computer. It is optional and is never transmitted
  automatically. Tab reaches Save, Clear, and Cancel; Enter or Spacebar activates
  each button. No email password is requested or stored.
- Each plan has an independent schedule and completion record. Changing plans
  preserves the old plan's record, and returning to it restores that progress.
- Progress is saved in the current Windows user's local application-data folder
  using a primary file and a backup copy. It remains after closing or updating.
- The complete Bible plan assigns four chapters to each of Days 1 through 94,
  then three chapters per day through Day 365.
- The Old Testament plan assigns three chapters to each of Days 1 through 199,
  then two chapters per day through Day 365.
- The New Testament plan keeps 155 chapters whole and divides 105 longer
  chapters at paragraph or sentence boundaries, producing 365 related readings.
- The chronological plan places Job after Genesis 1 through 11, positions
  Psalms and parallel histories near their related events, and harmonizes the
  Gospel accounts. Some days contain several separate passage ranges. Every
  KJV verse is assigned exactly once; chronological arrangements are approximate.
- Escape closes the Daily Reading window and returns focus to Scripture Passage
  on the main screen.
