Support details for I Can Read the Bible in Hebrew including
- Install - Insert CD in drive. Setup program should start automatically. If it does not, click Start | Run and type D:setup and click OK, assuming D: is the drive letter. Substitute drive letter if different.
- Register - The program must be registered. This is so that we can give you the best support possible. Double click on the I Can Read the Prayers in Hebrew (TM) icon. Find the Serial Number on the top left of the Registration screen. Send the Serial Number to info@levsoftware.com and receive the corresponding unlock code. Enter the code into the Unlock field and click on Unlock. The top right will change from Evaluation to Licensed. The Registration Screen will not appear again once the program has been successfully registered.
Your registered program will only work on the computer which generated the serial number in it's current configuration.You may purchase an additional license for $10.00 from Lev Software, or transfer the license from one computer to another.
- Transfering a License - The License Transfer option allows you to transfer the license for your protected software from one machine to another without key disks or transfer files. To bring up the license screen you should hold the 'shift' key down whilst your program is starting. This is the only way to display the license screen once the software is registered. On the license screen, the 'transfer the license to another pc' option will be enabled. Click on the check box and Softlocx will prompt you for the 'destination serial number' which will be the serial number of the unregistered (installed) copy of the software on the target pc. Once the target serial number has been entered click on the 'Transfer' button, a message box will pop up confirming the transfer (this is a good chance to double check the serial number is correct). Softlocx will then invalidate the license on the first machine (i.e. preventing the software from running), and generate the unlock code for the target pc. By entering the unlock code on the splash screen of the evaluation version on the target pc, the license transfer process will be complete and the software fully functional.

To record your own - A - , click on Start Record . The tool bar then appears and gives you a message, click OK. With your microphone ready, press the red button . Record syllable - A - and quickly click on the black square on the left to stop. Playback your recording by clicking on the play button and if you want to keep it press save record . The ~ appears to the left of the saved syllable on the chart. If you want to record it again, click on the right most button, new file, and record over and over until you are staisfied. The click on the next syllable of your choice. Record all or as many syllables you would like, then play the text and enjoy!
