, 18:37, March 6, 2020→Harmony of the Gospel (Conservative Version) narrative form Introduction for audio computer Read aloud: I added the fact that the computer sometimes skips whole sections of text which have to be broken up to be read, like the genealogies
Some minor additions to the text of ''Harmony of the Gospel (Conservative Version)'' have been made so that the reading is more understandable. For example, instead of abruptly beginning the reading of some of the epistles or some of the historical documents suddenly without any warning, an introductory statement is used, such as "Now this is what he wrote". This is so the listener will know what's happening. In the same way, to make clear that the epistle or document reading is finished, a statement saying so is added before going on with the narrative.

In some places of the reading of the text of this ''Harmony of the Gospel (Conservative Version)'' the computer sometimes skips whole sections of text which have to be broken up to be read without omissions, whole and entire, like the genealogies in Matthew and Luke, and sections of the history narrative from [[Josephus]].
Visual punctuation on the page has been adapted so that the computer reading of the narrative is smoother and more natural to listen to. Mechanical computer reading sometimes abruptly pauses or stumbles over some of the standard punctuation of regular printed text. Many commas have been removed simply because they produce unnatural pauses in the computer reading. But some commas have been added where necessary so the computer reading aloud of the page makes more sense to the listener. In some cases, phrases have been rearranged because the mechanical reading of the computer breaks up a sentence into two or more parts, which it reads as separate sentences that don't make much sense. It doesn't change the meaning. It's just a necessary adaptation to get around the limitations of mechanical computer reading, which simply makes more sense of the text of the narrative when read that way.
