"Change reading speed" - more options needed

David B. Woods · 2025-03-27T09:52:09+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I've seen several discussions on this but I don't think the solutions offered are what I need. It's not a text-to-speech setting; this is about audio/video resource speeds.

When I open an audio resource, I'd like to choose the reading speed in Logos with a much finer selection than what it offers (0.75, 1, 1.4, and 2x). From my experience with Audible, I find the speeds 0.85 and 0.9 most useful.

Normal speed doesn't give one a moment to think about what was said. Some speakers talk fast, like Peter Leithart in the Typological Hermeneutics course.

Please may we have a finer selection of reading speeds, at 5% increments!

Please!!! For most books, I'd like it faster than 1, but 1.4 is just too fast.

I'd also love it if there were skip a head or rewind buttons, maybe 30 seconds each (or make them customizable).

And would it be possible to have the little pop up be moveable? It always pops up on the bottom right hand corner, and often that's right over another book.

I agree we need more opitons on the read speed and on the video speed

I have to listen to things through the app on my phone because the computer version only has the limited speed options. 😓

Bible Project Graphic Overviews
Last year during a training session, I noticed @Mark Barnes (Logos) had Bible Project graphics on his demonstration screen. I believe he mentioned they were in a german version of Logos (could be wrong there) but regardless they were present in his ecosystem but are NOT for english/american customers. I made a suggestion…
Allow users to type in the sermon builder on the IOS Mobile app.
Perhaps there is a way to do this, but I have looked and not been able to find it. I would love to be able to actually work on my sermons from my IOS phone. I can see what I have typed on my computer, but that is it, I cannot type new things. I would love this feature. If I could leave my PC and take up my composition on…
Sort Smart Bible Searches
It would be nice to be able to sort smart Bible searches. I like that I can save them as a passage list and then sort them, but one less step would be ideal. I came across a theme in Ezekiel 20 of God's name and I wanted to see how many times this idea is in Ezekiel. Smart Bible search was perfect for this!
Allow us to override Logos bias by attaching n - using the creation stories of Genesis as an example
Because of its reference to image, I prefer to use the Genesis 1 reference for the creation of mankind rather than Genesis 2. This is especially important to me in the current political environment as Genesis 1 has an androgynous Adam rather than a male Adam. However, Logos not only makes Genesis 2 the primary text, it…
Bible Study Builder more text options
Can we get more text options in Bible Study Builder, similar to Sermon builder. Bullets and Numbers, change of text color. Can we also get the Blockquote and illustration function.
