ProVoc for iPhone

By Ben ⋅ 21st Dec 2008 ⋅ Print This Post Print This Post ⋅ Post a comment

I don’t have an iPhone yet, but the case for getting one just got even stronger. At college me and my mac buddies go to town with a program called ProVoc to drill all our Greek and Hebrew vocab. I would know just about zero Greek and even less Hebrew words if it wasn’t for ProVoc… well, looks like some people have made iPhone versions. Sweet.

Both are $8 on the app store.

    That’s awesome! Maybe I actually ‘need’ one after all. ;)

    This looks great, I didn’t even know this existed! Are there any vocabularies you would suggest to download to learn OT Hebrew and NT Greek?

    Hey Tim,

    here’s one that contains every word in the Greek New Testament ordered by frequency.

    Likewise for Hebrew:

    Thanks to Sam Freney for putting these together.

    There are loads more on this site, for other languages too:

    Thank you for mentioning iVocabulary.

    Since iPhone OS 3.0 iVocabulary also supports Hebrew, Arabic and other languages with non ASCII-chars and right-to-left writing direction.

    Version 2.0 is about to be released and it supports editing and adding words on the iPhone besides some other neat additions.
