Re: [sword-devel] Audio projects? (Video projects?)

[ref...@gmx.net]

You can use the same mechanism for adding images. We have a very restricted set of file types we "support", but that as the support offered is not really part of the engine, but handled by external file handlers there is really no technical limit to what you can embed. The limit is really in our convention not to distribute anything which would not work on all platforms, at least I'm theory.

More interesting though, and this is where we never made much progress is whether it is possible to embed a sound file but pass on enough information to allow playing individual verses only. We had several years ago a discussion on all that on sword-devel. Look into the archives for more info.

The other development of course has been the ever improving provision of TTS systems. These of course do not support many/any minority languages.

This question is because I'm chasing a lead on ESV Gideons edition. To clarify a bit:  In 2013, Gideons International started publishing Bibles based on the ESV that include revisions so the work conforms closely to the Textus Receptus.  

ESV2011 Matthew 6:13

  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Gideons Matthew 6:13
  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours in the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever, Amen. 

The problem I've run into is that the Gideons Bible App is dysfunctional, and appears to be the only way to download the ESV-Gideons text onto a mobile device. However, the Gideons app also appears to be geared primarily to providing audio. 

So, as I'm asking about receiving the text, I'm also preparing to field any questions about audio. 

Audio and Video have come in and out of discussion regarding OSIS and availability on the sword format, but it was always forward looking.  However, in today's environment it's more of a "now" issue than ever.  Does Sword (and OSIS) have a documented or recommended way to handle audio (and video) in modules. Or a roadmap to getting there? I'm speaking of audio scriptures and video scriptures for deaf (sign language). 

Is it be possible to get the sword platform to provide recorded audio?
