Great! Hopefully the reading will be Sephardi, or Oriental.
Great, Phil! A number of us are very anxious to have the control and convenience that an audio Hebrew TANAK would bring to Logos compared to such current alternatives as:

Thanks Phil, this saved my day!

Hey Phil, I just wanted to point out another recent, high quality audio-bible from the Bible Society in Israel. Their recordings cover both the OT and the (Modern) Hebrew New Testament (HNT) and come in both dramatized and undramatized versions (the only difference being the inclusion of music & sound effects). Thankfully, the text of the HNT is already available on Logos (here). Aramaic sections are apparently translated into biblical Hebrew (e.g., as in Daniel). (By the way, anyone who can read much of the Hebrew OT shouldn't have too much trouble reading the Modern HNT, especially the narrative portions.) You can find many of these recordings available for free:

David Paul: Adam Olean:Hebrew OT and HNT (Dramatized):http://www.bible.is/HBRHMT/Gen/1/D http://haktuvim.co.il/ The use of the Vav rather than a Waaw is unnerving. I made it to verse 4 before reflexively clicking the pause button. Meh...NOT Biblical Hebrew.
I'd certainly welcome a more antiquated pronunciation scheme(s). I rather like "Restored Koine", for instance—although the best overall recording I've heard so far of the entire GNT uses a Modern (or Demotic) Greek pronunciation. Randall Buth has stated that professional readers/narrators in Israel often use at least some archaisms, although they certainly fall short of a "Restored Hebrew" (e.g., of Moses or David). That said, there are benefits to learning both modern and ancient pronunciations for those who are interested.

It looks like other Bible software programs already offer audio editions of the Hebrew-Aramaic OT and/or the Modern Hebrew NT. Logos has started offering audiobooks, so why not excellent, Hebrew-Aramaic recordings of the Scriptures? (An alternative, non-"Erasmian" recording of the GNT would be most welcome too!)
Great suggestions, Adam! Anyone out there in Bellingham listening in?
Hey Faithlife... cash in hand... please sell to me! I miss having hebrew audio in Logos!

Steve Maling: Great suggestions, Adam! Anyone out there in Bellingham listening in?
Thanks, Steve! I don't know: Things seem awfully quiet in Bellingham after another several months down the road. I haven't given up, but I'm grateful for the excellent recordings that are already available online!
I think Faithlife could really promote and facilitate increased fluency in the biblical languages, but that may be left to a few but growing number of individuals and groups like Randall Buth and Biblical Language Center. There are also a growing number of resources and supplements available online for Modern Hebrew. As I recall, John Schwandt, Executive Director of Logos Mobile Ed, has taught Classical and Koine Greek conversationally through his Institute of Biblical Greek.

We're listening. We've been exploring one Hebrew audio Bible recently. Thanks for the continued interest and feedback.

Phil, thank you for the reassurance. I'm sure many of us are cheering you on in this exploration. And yes, I too am impatient

Indeed, thank you Phil! I'll look forward to sharing in the fruits of your labor. Keep up the good work.

Shut up and take my money!
Lee, your emoticon to the contrary notwithstanding, my response is, "Right sentiment, wrong tone." BTW, from the number of times I've posted to this thread one can see I share your impatience! Shalom, shalom, Steve
Seems like the Antifa movement has taken over the forums

Steve, that sentence I wrote is not my own. No offence was intended at all. It's a famous comedic catchphrase, ironically describing a desperately compelling product. Apologies if the reference wasn't clear.

Lee, was just about to post this link explaining your post, but you beat me to the punch with an explanation!
Hi, Lee and Matthew, thanks for helping plug a gap in my lamentable ignorance of pop culture!
