FlashWorks 4.0a

FlashWorks is a vocabulary drilling program. Each word is tagged for difficulty, type (noun, verb, etc.), chapter, and frequency in the Biblical text. You can then ask for any cross section you wish, such as "all verbs occurring more than 30 times in the New Testament that occur in chapters 16 through 24 in the text and which I have tagged with a difficulty rating of three through five" (five being the most difficult for you). FlashWorks remembers words as you get them right and/or wrong and can automatically set the difficulty rating. There are databases for Greek (Basics of Biblical Greek), Hebrew (Basics of Biblical Hebrew) and other languages.

We are glad to be able to release version 4 of FlashWorks. Please report any problems through our contact page. FlashWorks requires at least OSX 10.4 (Macintosh) or Windows 2000 (service pack 2).

Download the OSX installer for Greek or Hebrew (10.6 megs; requires Stuffit to decompress)

Download the Windows Installer for Greek or Hebrew (Windows 98 or later; 6.1 megs)

Each of the above installers comes with the appropriate database.

Different language databases

The following links are for the appropriate database; they do not include the application FlashWorks.

French for Macintosh or Windows

German for Macintosh or Windows

Greek for Macintosh or Windows (requires TekniaGreek)

Hebrew for Macintosh or Windows (requires TekniaHebrew)

Spanish for Macintosh or Windows

The Greek is keyed to Bill Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek, and the Hebrew is keyed to Pratico's and Van Pelt's Basics of Biblical Hebrew. The other databases were done for us and we do not know the source of the words or definitions. If you create other databases and would like us to post them, then please contact us through our Contact page.

If you want one of these databases to open automatically when FlashWorks starts, then set it as the default database in the Saved Preferences window.


Import text files

Each of the databases listed above come with the actual database as well as the text file that was imported to form the database. If you want to create your own database, then you should check out the text files. If you chose to import them to create your own databases, then be sure to set the import options appropriately:
