Buddhist Scriptures Information Retrieval พระไตรปิฏก ฉบับคอมพิวเตอร์

Buddhist Scriptures Information Retrieval

The BUDSIR for Windows contains 115 volumes, or 50,189 pages of text. The data can be divided into two groups as follows :

1. The Pali Tipitaka, 45 volumes.

2. The Atthakatha and other important scriptures, 70 volumes.+

The data from each volume was entered twice and verified by a computer program which pin-pointed any discrepancies between the two versions, which were then corrected until the two versions were completely identical. This was done by eighty typists, each working at a rate of thirty Pali words a minute, or on average 15 pages a day.

For the BUDSIR for Thai Translation, it contains 160 volumes in all, consisting of 115 volumes in Pali text as in the product of BUDSIR for Windows, and 45 volumes of Tipitaka in Thai translation which is convenient for comparison with the original Pali source.
