Audio Bibles

Matthew R. Funk

I have a number of audio bibles (NIV, CSB, NKJV, ESV), but only the ESV is linked with my written version. In other words, when I use the "read aloud" option from the ESV it will play/read my ESV audio bible. With the other 3, it will only allow the system narrator. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Hello Matthew, I have used the CSB Audio Bible. What I do is open my Bible in one pane and the audio bible in another pane. I set them both to the same scripture reference. Then I set the audio bible to continuous play. This allows me to follow along with in my bible while I listen to it being read. I agree that it would be better if they were linked to each other but I think only the ESV is set up that way. I hope his helps.

This is "as expected." There are very few audio books (including bibles) which link to the text. See note on product page (screenshot below).

The reason this works is because many of these audio bibles (I have the CSB, NVI (Esp), Bible du Semeur) are indexed to the Chapter level. So, the text versions will advance with a chapter change. (The last time I checked this doesn't work on mobile, though.) It might be simpler to set the audio version in a Multiple Books Display set with the text version as a 'follower', so any time you open the audio, the text is automatically attached.

Note that the CSB audio has a milestone tagging error that causes it to be out-of-sync by one chapter. I reported this issue several months ago, but it remains unfixed.
