Voice only Audio Bible
Why can't we buy the Whole Bible or the Whole New Testament? Will my NKJV be able to auto scroll while being read. If that isn't the case then when would that be available? I would really like translations that will auto scroll while being read. Are there any plans for that in the future?

No idea.

No.

That would only happen if the audio book was created that way. It would also necessitate the audiobook AND ebook be of "the same resource." I understand this is confusing, but this isn't tied to your NKJV.
Put another way, the audiobook would need to be "the official audio book" for that translation.

I would not expect that to be the case for this particular resource.
If you want a "read aloud" bible as you describe, I believe your two choices are ESV or LEB

Puzzling question. Faithlife offers hundreds of Bibles => https://www.logos.com/search?limit=60&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all&filters=resourcetype-bibles_Resource%20Type
Faithlife Corporation has several web stores for purchasing resources that can be used in mobile apps and desktop applications.

My demonstration account (with $ 0.00 order total) does not have The New King James Version Bible (NKJV), but has other Bibles: e.g. The New Living Translation (NLT). Desktop release 8.15 Read aloud using system voice on macOS 10.15.6 has circle appear to show verse being read:
After reading Philippians 4:7 aloud, NLT automatically scrolled to Philippians 4:8 followed by showing circle verse indicator (as words being read)

Thanks for the reply. I only wish it would function like the ESV or LEB.

If look like you can get the whole bible for 14.99 elsewhere. I don't see Exodus-Deuteronomy, 2 Kings or Zechariah plus none of the New Testament. Are these any plans to put out the whole audio Bible?

ESV, LEB (NT), CSB, RSVCE (NT), Greek (NT) have Narrator selection option on macOS 10.15.6 (so have choice of voice for Read Aloud)
Thankful for macOS 10.15 Catalina including many high quality voice options so System Narrator can be used for reading many Bibles (match high quality voice with Bible language - does not work for Hebrew). Caveat: ESV, LEB, CSB, RSVCE enunciation can be better for some words compared to System Narrator (Greek NT does not have a System Narrator option).
New Testament audio:
- Greek Audio New Testament (for a number of Greek New Testament Resources)
- The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform 2005 (BYZ)(Robinson-Pierpont) (audio) Erasmian pronunciation
- Truth & Life Dramatized Audio Bible: New Testament for the RSVCE
- Lexham English Bible (LEB) with Audio New Testament
- The Passion Translation: New Testament , 2nd ed. (audio) is a Pre-Publication (in production) that does not yet have a ship date
Bible:
- CSB Audio Bible
- ESV Hear the Word Audio Bible
- Alexander Scourby KJV (audio)
- Lexham English Bible (LEB) with Audio Old Testament is a Pre-Publication that needs more users to Bid & Purchase, which will receive credit of purchase amount (so essentially free by helping Faithlife fund LEB Old Testament Audio development)
Partial:
- The Essential Word on the Street Audio Bible
- George Sarris has KJV audio for four Bible Books => https://www.logos.com/search?filters=author-86673_Author&limit=60&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all

There are two different "read aloud" features. One is an audio book "read along." The other is a computer generated reading. This second "read aloud" depends upon your operating system. Windows computers also have a computer generated "read aloud," but you will need to consult with windows users for more information.

Many High Quality system Read Aloud voices are freely included with macOS while being extra cost for Windows: e.g. Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Microsoft Windows 10 Pro edition 2004 has three Narrator choices: Microsoft David, Microsoft Zira, & Microsoft Mark (with Desktop versions for Microsoft David & Microsoft Zira), which can be used as the System Narrator for Read Aloud of English resources in Logos OR Verbum.
