The "Electronic Bible (Recovery Version)" includes themes, outlines, book introductions, scriptures, annotations, citations, and charts from the Traditional and Simplified Chinese Recovery Versions of the Old and New Testaments published by Taiwan Gospel Bookstore. It also allows users to refer to the Traditional and Simplified Chinese Union Versions, the English Recovery Versions of the Old and New Testaments, the King James Version, the English Darby New Version, and the Korean Recovery Versions of the Old and New Testaments. This software is designed for Android smartphones, tablets, and Wear OS smartwatches, and features functions such as designated reading (abbreviations, chapters), translation comparison, annotation citations, line drawing, bookmarking, citation links, image generation, audio Bible, AI reading (scripture and annotations), browsing history, scripture search, AR citations, scripture reading plans, dictionary indexes, and personal settings.
