Greek Pronunciation Addin with Erasmian & Modern Data Sets
Overview
It's hard to describe the joy of reading the Scripture aloud in its original languages. The Word becomes alive in a new way and the richness of Greek and Hebrew can truly be appreciated.
As with any language, learning to speak Greek and Hebrew takes effort, dedication, and plenty of practice. To develop an ear for it, you must hear the language spoken and then repeat the sounds. The Pronunciation Addin is the perfect learning aid to accelerate this process.
The Greek Pronunciation Addin can pronounce Greek words in any morphologically tagged resource. It pronounces the lemma or dictionary form of the word using your computer's speakers.
There are two ways to access the Pronunciation Addin. You can select it from the Tools menu, which opens the dialog shown below. The dialog lets you choose Erasmian or Modern style pronunciation, enter a lemma, or have letters and sounds pronounced. Alternatively, you can right-click on a word in Nestle-Aland 27th Edition Greek New Testament or any other morph-tagged Greek language Bible you may own and have its lemma (also called lexical form or dictionary form) pronounced.
Experience for yourself the wonder of reading Scripture aloud in its original languages!
