What is the Verse Card Maker?

The Verse Card Maker is a simple and efficient way to create customized verse cards for scripture memory. The only thing required of the user is a list of references, and then the Verse Card Maker does the rest by fetching the text and returning a fully formatted PDF ready for front and back printing.

How did the Verse Card Maker begin?

The Verse Card Maker made its Internet debut in July 2009, but was created almost a year before. The original Verse Card Maker was created by my brother in Microsoft Excel, but required more user interaction and was difficult to understand at times. However, after several months of faithful service the Excel spreadsheet stopped working for unknown reasons.

After this I began work on a new more user friendly version of the program. A working version of the program with a user interface (which was very ugly) was running after a few weeks. Since then the program has had several features added on including a incremented date, custom font sizes, error reporting, and most recently PDF generation. In the future I would like to add the ability to automatically split up large passages of scripture across several cards, but at the moment this feature is on hold.

Who made the Verse Card Maker?

The Verse Card Maker was created by Michael Scott. I graduated in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in Computer and Information Sciences, but am now in seminary pursuing a Masters of Divinity. If you have any questions about the Verse Card Maker feel free to email me at mcscott@mcscott.org
