Was there ever a fix for L4 to read the greek text slower?
I don't think so but I seem to remember a thread on speed listening today. I think it was offered in conjunction with a speed speech function.[:D]
I think if you crank your CPU down to 1/10 of the MHz it's built to run at you should see some performance degradation and the speech will come out sounding slower. Might be easier to understand that way, though slower speech can also sometimes sound slurred on some machines... [;)]
I'm totally teasing in case you couldn't tell. I don't know about this; never heard there was a desired "fix" -- I didn't know it was broken. Perhaps there needs to be a speed setting, though. I can't understand audio Greek anyway, so I wouldn't know if it were too fast or not. It sounds pretty normal to me.

Its all Greek to you?
For me, I would like to be able to adjust the speed of playback.
I know its an actual recording, rather than computer-generated on-the-fly, but it could still play back with variable speed if there was enough CPU horse-power and the right code. Or if the resource had multiple tracks, at different speeds.
[ My Sony PS3 can play back a video file at 10% over-speed, and still sound OK. The pitch does not rise, but it does sound a little "Auto-tuned". I guess a PS3 has known hardware and DSP / CPU power to burn. Not so easy with a PC of unknown specs, and Logos would need to write/license a code module that could do this. Of course, they could pre-process the recording off-line, and release an update of the resource with a few different speeds of playback. ]
Of course, the Greek Audio New Testament resource has aspeed adjustment function in L3, which does not function in L4.
I learned to read / translate Greek in seminary, but did notwork too hard on pronouncing or listening to Greek. There is a difference in being able to readGreek and being able to understand it verbally. (Especially if you are a good ole southern boy like me.)
I bought the Greek Audio New Testament to help withthat. I also enjoy recording the Greektext and playing it back on my mp3 player when I walk or drive. This is helping me to memorize my favoriteverses in the Greek New Testament. I amtrying to memorize one verse a week.
Not only does the speed function not work in L4, but thetext indicator (a little orange dot or an arrow which follows the text as it isread) does not work with Windows 7.
There is nothing to indicate these problems when you buy theprogram. That should at least becorrected. I was told the nothing willbe done to fix the problems this year, and I was offered a refund.
I declined the refund because even with these problems, I amfinding it very useful for memorizing the Greek New Testament.
For now the only way to adjust the speed of the playback is to use it in L3.

Martha, thanks for the reminder. I remember that thread. I will go check it out again. [:D]

Rosie, I just could not afford that dial. Did you happen to buy it? Does it really work? [:D]

This is what I am wanting to do myself. I can read John 1:1 well. I am just wanting to get Matt. 6:9-13 now.

I'm still comparing it against the other competing one, which was marketed as "this one goes to eleven" -- that might clinch it for me. [;)]

Huh!? That is an interesting proposition. Scaling by 1/11 instead of 1/10. You do see about an 11% increase in clarity. What is the price difference? [^o)]
I'm still using L3 for the Greek Audio Bible. Works a treat. [:)]
