Dialogs of Plato
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2025 11:50 pm
I have edited all the major and some of the minor translations of Plato in accordance with Plato's own outline given in Theaetetus in order to not only made them easier to read, but also accommodates a machine reader I programmed which automatically changes the machine voice with each character. That program I have put in some directories on the Archive, One particular place is The Grammar of English Grammar Mp3, it is in a zipped file, and it will work in any version of Windows. Your version of Windows might tell you of something to download in order to use it, or it may not. Depends upon your particular installation.
I would have though that if anyone were to edit the dialogs, he would have taken Plato's advice on how to make them easier to read. But, I have spent a lot of time doing that myself. One example of this edition can be found in Plato in the Nude. The title means that I did not include any translators footnotes.
All of the downloads from the Archive are free for worldwide distribution.
PS: the program I wrote, now called Reader2020, is what is called a green program as there is no installation involved, and it can be put into any directory. The reason for this, is that by making changes to the .dat files, it can be tailored to any genre of grammar. while adding nothing, itself, to the registry files of Windows. And the .dat files allows you to taylor all the different reading software voices. In short, it is, that I know of, the only reader which is almost completely customizable.
Caveat, I never wrote a help file for it, but one may easily figure out most, if not all, of how it functions.
