I would love to see a Biblia Hebraica with the Massoretic points but without the extra diacritical marks. The reason is that when I want to copy and paste these for use in my iPhone, such as annotating my Scriptures, the other marks often come across as a square. The Massoretic points, for the most part, can be read in the iPhone (although I still don't know how to produce them with my Hebrew keyboard). For instance, I can write לבב without any problems, but not לֶבָב.

    When I want to copy and paste Hebrew text into other documents I use AFAT since it has niqqudim but not cantillation.

    George, ah, you made my day. As it was, I had to go to my computer, copy and paste what I needed, and send myself an e-mail with the Hebrew I needed. Then I could copy it into my App. Most of the time it would be easier to just re-write it myself, other than the niqqudim. So, I want to join Alan in thanking you. It works great! Best, Gregorio
