New Product: Hebrew/Greek Pronoucing Bible

Here's a place where Muslims have used technology in a very creative way:

This is but one product--there are actually several electronic Qurans that use the same technology. I have yet to see a single Bible like this, though.

The same technology is used in children's books, to help them read as well as create interactive books:

I could see it being a very useful tool for helping students learn how to read Greek and Hebrew. Such a device could be programmed in several languages, reading both Hebrew and Greek, as well as translate into any modern language--English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, etc.

I know Logos is a software company, and hasn't made any hardware; however, I think such a device would be a Godsend to those of us trying to learn Greek and Hebrew.

Welcome [:D]

Logos has a pre-publication => Hebrew Audio Pronunciations under development.

Greek New Testament audio already available => Greek Audio New Testament

Greek lemma pronunciation is already available (Erasmian and Modern), which is included in Scholar's and above.

Great!

Any plans to add it to the iPad version? That would fill this niche very nicely.

And thanks for the welcome!

FYI, just downloaded the Greek Audio New Testament--way cool!!! The "dancing green dot" is very neat.

Is there a way to slow down the speed of the audio? That might be useful. (Looking through the forums, it appears as though that was a feature under version 3.0, but at the time of the posts, it wasn't available on 4.0...however, many of those posts are very old.)

I'm really looking forward to the Hebrew. I already can pronounce Greek OK--not great--and the GANT will help me. The Hebrew will certainly make a difference.

And having them both on the iPad/iPhone would be excellent. I hope that's under development!

One more thing--after reading the Hebrew Audio Pronunciations, it appears as though it's not quite the same as the GANT, but rather just reads the lemmas and not the actual text. Am I correct?

Is there a plan to have a "Hebrew Audio Old Testament" that is similar to the GANT, with the "karaoke" feature?

From description, concur.

Considering different Hebrew tagging schemes, wonder about Hebrew Audio Old Testaments ? especially for "The Hebrew Bible" (AFAT) and Lexham Hebrew Interlinear (LHI), which use same morphological tagging.
