New World Translation

The source for the text is the XML file, embedded in the DAISY files for screenreaders. The conversion to JSON is not ideal, since some characters (some hebrew like Aleph \u05D0 or Vaw \u05D5 in Pslams 111, or the left double quotation mark \u201D) cause errors from the json import module, while it was exported with json.dump() to avoid this very problem. Here are the preliminary results:

It is slightly larger than the kjv, but this could also be because of included quotation marks and other small details. It has the same 1189 chapters, but only 31077 verses (12 in Mark and 12 in John missing), 42032 sentences, 789,071 words and 3,380,746 letters. It would fit on 1095 pages, 34 more than kjv.
