I am wondering if there is a way to let Logos work with/on Amazon Alexa? Specifically, having Bible Versions read, and certain books from our purchased library read.

    I don't use Alexa, but here is a link which may shed light: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/128968.aspx?PageIndex=1

    Hi Malcolm:

    Welcome to the Logos Forums.

    There was a Faithlife Alexa skill for a few years, but it was explained to us users that it was the result of some experimenting by interns, and as such, there wasn't the expectation of a high level of support or upgrading. It was eventually euthanized (last year, I think).

    Parts of that skill were useful, such as Alexa reading one chapter from your preferred bible per request. She also could recite some creeds, etc. She was supposed to be able to read a day's reading in a plan, but I always had very uneven results from that. There wasn't any ability to just read bibles or books for indeterminant durations, as a text-to-speech feature would allow.
