I have no tool with a user interface that checks file integrity. Understand that I often write custom code when I work on particular projects. In fact all the major projects I have done personally have special routines which only apply to that project. I suppose one kind of generic routine would be on that just checks the book/chapter/verse sequence. I would be a bit concerned if your OCR'd text is missing number fairly regularly, that it would then be messing up the text data also. (just thinking out loud...)

Perhaps I just don't know where it is, but is there something in T3 (or T4) that will pick up duplicate entries in a Bible file? I OCR'd a Bible from PDF and in converting, some of the verse numbers (superscript) appeared as something else. For example, 14 appeared as ¹". When that is converted to a verse number, it would read 1:1 instead of 1:14. Therefore, making two 1:1's for that book. Is there a tool to test for duplicate entries like that? Or do I have to manually go through the whole NT to find it?

Thanks in advance.

There is Software that compares two file and shows the difference some are WinMerge , ExanDiff, Beyound Compare,

These only do text file, .TXT to my knowledge

What i did was Have MEd i think it was create bible module it would have no text then use BeST to covert bible to module v8 so it could be opened in Excel then I would strip away the text leaving the references only then save as a text and compare it to the one created buy BeST or MED I'm thinking it was Med, the places where there is a difference in the references will be highlighted go to your original and fix the references

In a nut shell You need to strip away text from your bible and compare it with a file that has all the references then go to the locations where they differ and fix it

I have done 3 bible's from PDF's and these programs where BIG time savers it's been awhile so I don't know which one I stuck with

other then Brent coming up with a way to do this, this is the only way I know to do it

OCR'ed Text From a Image depending on the quality of the image i.e smears, smudges, Ink fade can result in a 4 superscript being mistaken as a coma that's why proofing is so important

T4 is FANTASTIC for Bible modules. It scrolls through the rtf file as it is formatting, so if there is an error, it highlights the problem verse in the rtf file. I do believe that this may just solve every problem I've ever had in making a Bible module.

Thank you. Thank you VERY much!

T4 does this that is fantastic I was going by what Brent said

[BaptizedBeliever]

the problem with the OCR was that the font size was really small on the footnotes. But with T4 and then doing a quick scan in e-Sword for duplicate verses (they'd be a :1 :2 or :3 most of the time instead of :14 :17), all the problems were caught.

WOOHOO

1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

T4 is under development. While I hope all things are working, I'm sure there are "issues". Please report any problems.

========================================
Version 0.74- 1/9/2012
========================================
-- HARX file types added
-- CMTX file types added - similar to T3. New menu option for multiple verses references - experimental
-- BRPX - ability to read BRPX files into T4
-- Fixed - Undo/Redo text not always correct. Also added page formatting and section insert.

NOTE - all this is still in a state of flux. I'm sure there will be issues.

[BaptizedBeliever]

I look forward to playing around with the CMTX aspects of this in the coming week. I'm hoping to have another commentary set or two done by Saturday.

Remember - this is a new program and it needs lots of testing still. Just keep that in mind...
