NEW FEATURE: Reported Speech section in Factbook, now available for testing
Factbook now has a new section for Reported Speech of characters in the Bible, on pages that are run on a Bible passage.
There are three main views.
- The Featured view highlights notable things that were spoken in the passage (Prayers, Oaths, etc), based on the Faithlife Biblical and Theological Lists datasets.
- The Speakers and Addressees views display speech grouped by who spoke, or was spoken to, based on the Reported Speech and Addressees datasets, respectively.
How you can test
Please report any problems with:
- Incorrect data, especially differences compared with similar tools like corresponding sections in desktop’s Passage Guide or Explorer tool.
- Performance concerns
- UI/UX issues (loading states, scroll position changing, labels colliding or getting clipped, etc.)
We’d also welcome any feedback on the usefulness of the feature, and ideas for improvements or innovations.
This feature will be licensed as part of the Logos Pro subscription, and is currently planned for desktop and mobile app versions 36.0. It is currently available for beta testing at app.logos.com to all members of the public group Logos Pro (early access) Beta Features.
Thank you!

Hi Adam,
I noticed this morning on Verbum 36 and the Logos Web app that Factbook Reported Speech in Job doesn't pick up God as addressee even verse by verse, yet it is clear God is the addressee and the context menu shows Him as such.
Too soon old. Too late smart.

I don't see the context menu showing God as the addressee
Where do you see that?

Hi Graham,
Thanks for double checking me. Somebody needs to keep me accountable [:$] I thought what I saw was God as addressee but What I actually saw was God Person when I right clicked on the word You.
Since Job is using the first person singular identified as God throughout his complaint and in the simple reading of the text it would indicate Job is addressing his complaint toward God in the hearing of Zophar, I would then expect God to be at least included as an addressee.
Additionally, the events section identifies most if not all of Job's complaint as addressing God, "Job questions God the third time event"
Am I missing something?

Sorry - I agree there is an issue. I think these verses should be tagged with God as the Addressee, I was just not sure where you had seen that tagging (and you have clarified that)
Apologies for any confusion.

No need to apologize Graham. I caused the confusion. Thank you for your help!

Thank you Bradley.
Will the update look at the whole book of Job because I found another instance here this morning?

Yes, I asked the team to look at all instances of "you INTERSECTS person:God" in Job.

Adam,
For those of us who are unlikely to subscribe to Logos Pro, will this development also involve the correction of the errors in the existing LDHB Reported Speech Dataset? I listed a number of issues back in December: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/219832.aspx.

John,
The work we've done lately directly utilizes the same dataset. I'll bump that issue with the Content Innovation team.

Thank you for the prompt reply, Adam. I look forward to being able to work with a much more reliable dataset.
