Guest Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Unless I'm sitting at my desk, I'm using my iPad Pro. If I could do everything on it, I would. It's definitely not the hardware, but rather the software companies that haven't kept up. Not meaning to throw shade at Accordance here. Sadly, it's everywhere. Mellel is another disappointing example. It's my main word processor on my MBP, but it's a bit anemic on the iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t understand it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GYDOF1729 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Accordance, I hope you see people are willing to see and use Accordance. What people are saying is "Accordance Cloud"! The competitor seems to handle this flawlessly. Telling us to "read previous posts" is not helpful. Cloud was in development well over a year ago...with a rollout date over a year ago. Nathan, we greatly appreciate your interactions here on the forums. Accordance owner, this is becoming a bit out of hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Concerning the iPad, I don't think many software companies "understand" the power hidden inside such a slim device. As Apple does more with the iPad Pro (FCP and Logic were a good start, Xcode would be a biggie), I hope more software companies will take notice. Accordance understands the power of the iPad, and mobile is part of our overall strategy, but it takes time to add new features. Concerning Accordance Cloud, I don't have anything new to report at the moment. Once we have new information to report, we'll update here. Our in-house programming team is working on adding additional functionality needed to get it closer to a customer beta, but I don't have any further specifics to announce at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My iPad isn't the device i use the most, but it's the device I ENJOY using the most. I love the form factor, especially with a keyboard case like the ones from Apple or Logitech. If Accordance for iPad had the same features as Accordance on mac, i would always use the iPad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Research, stacks, much greater window flexibility, inc more tabs and full user customisation of tabs (rather than just the sky, mint, newspaper options), better option for library management; diagrams, syntax, word maps 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I agree as well on the mobile strategy. And @Mark Allison, I don't think I heard your feature requests for tabs loud enough. :-) (Actually I got it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mann Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 All I use is an Ipad pro at this time, and have been for several years. Two things keep me from recommending Accordance wholeheartedly to anyone at this time. 1. Lack of updating resources, way behind logos and other competitors. 2. Way behind on mobile technology. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 @Mark Allison Try upgrading to Star Trek's padds. Nope, still no tabs. Memory Alpha links: - single padd - multiple padds 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Our Star Trek app is supposedly still in development, but the team developing it is so secret, they won't tell me anything. :-) Another Bible software company beat us to developing for Klingons. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was available on Accordance Exchange, but I don't see it. I used to have it, but it appears to have disappeared from my installation. And the link in the 2007 blog entry is dead.

I had assumed it was one of the two Klingon Bible translation projects that were happening a few years ago, and not Joe Weak's own translation.. I remember hearing years ago that the Klingon translation group had split over formal equivalence vs. dynamic/functional equivalence. The example I remember concerned whether to transliterate "sheep" or choose a similar klingon animal. I don't think anyone has tried similar Vulcan or Ferengi projects....wouldn't a universal translator be grand? Can you imagine, though, trying to translate into Tamarian? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, that illustrates the tension between traditional formal/dynamic equivalence that translators face. I hope we don't end up with a new denomination out of that. It's been awhile since I've watched Star Trek, and I admit I had to look up Tamarian. It's a fascinating idea - thanks for mentioning it. There's so much nuance in every experience that it's no trivial task for an outsider to deduce the intended allusion. It literally turns the history of language into the language of history.
