Is there a way to hide the masoretic niqqudim and cantillation marks when reading

I would like to be able to occasionally read the Hebrew Bible (BHS, Lexham Hebrew Bible, etc.) without the cantillation marks. I would also like to sometimes read the Hebrew without the masoretic niqqudim. Can this be done in Logos?

OR is there a Hebrew Bible available in Logos without one or both?

    @Paul Kreamer check first this post. It refers to this text and gives a bit of explanation about it (it is published in Portuguese therefore has Bible book titles in Portuguese).

    However, not sure if it is still purchasable. It shows a price in the title search list but shows unavailable on the product page. Could be a bug. In the worst case scenario, someone like @Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :) might still have a personal book doc to share with you that you can import in Logos.

    While there are minor differences in the consonantal text, you can read the text of the Torah without niqqud by looking at the Samaritan Pentateuch. This has the benefit of being available for purchase at present.

    Tov's Parallel Hebrew with LXX turned off, but it'll drive you crazy with the little grey vertical lines.
