The SWORD Project - Available Front-ends

Available Front-ends

Front-ends are available currently for Windows (The SWORD Project for Windows), various Unixes (Xiphos and BibleTime), including all mainline Linux distributions and FreeBSD, Mac OS X (Eloquent), WinCE (SwordReader), Internet Tablet OS (Rapier), as CGI utility (diatheke) and others.

Beyond that there are a number of other front ends making use of the library.

A separate implementation in Java exists in JSword, with at least two cross-platform GUIs, the more mature BibleDesktop and the newer Alkitab, which has been described as "an improved Windows front-end for JSWORD".

Despite the similarity in name, the e-Sword Bible software program is not a product of The SWORD Project, nor is it built upon The SWORD Project API.
