After development of BRITH, I was made aware of Duxbury Systems' work on https://www.duxburysystems.com/biblical_scholar.htm "Original Language Studies", which incorporates a group of holy texts. This work wan an NFB Award in 2016. https://archive.nfb.org/images/nfb/publications/bm/bm16/bm1611/bm161111.htm
