With all the reading we do in Logos, it would be great to have a text-to-speech feature we could use. I'm hoping that you are all already working on such a feature, which would be so great to have.
We already have that feature. See https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021891851-How-Do-I-Listen-to-my-Books
On mobile this is a paid feature, but free on desktop.
There is text to speech but it has dramatic room for improvement. Truly "smart" book readers with quality of Speechify and others would be absolutely amazing. Currently, the reader (for Mac and iOS at least) is dependent on Apple voices that have fallen pretty far below the state of the art. This is low-hanging fruit IMO for Logos to attack. Optimally it would be purchaseable, but even in an AI subscription bundle, it would instantly make the subscription worthwhile for many many users.
the text to speech is horrible on the mobile to read your books. Your options are slow to fast, pitch and the voice is not based on system voices, which would be great. I sit on the elliptical bike and use it for entertainment. On my Samsung, it has "Preferred engine:.. but that is Samsiung text -to - speech.. and can only add another language.. Under the settings, you have a play button to listen to your changes.. it does NOT match what you hear reading the books. Now you can change setting to Google, but you get limited voice.

FYI: Samsung no longer allows third party apps to access their text-to-speech engine. This change came with the release of One UI 7 (Android 15).

I would like a Linux version to download & use on my Desktop. I do not own Windows or MacOS, and I understand that it can be used via webapp, but a standalone Linux version would be better and more suitable to my devices. Something that you all might be interested in, is creating an AppImage so that it can run on any Linux…
When exploring the Miracles in the Bible dataset, I can only choose one selection from a group. For example, once I select Matthew, I cannot select any other book of the Bible. It would be great if I could select, for example, all 4 gospels. With additional flexibility in the selections, maybe someone could select all…
I have the "Miracles in the Bible" dataset. I would like to export this data to Excel so that I can filter and sort it based on agent, book, etc.. (I want to have every miracle listed, remove the duplicates [i.e. Jesus's resurrection shows up multiple times in this dataset but is only a single occurrence], and then do…
Logos is not going to win the ultimate search/write war against AI. Instead, it must position itself as the premier tool of integrative tools and comprehensive results. One simple integrative step would be to provide a map showing the splits leading to the denominations used in the classification of commentaries and…
Please add an arcing/bracketing/tracing feature, like on Biblearc.com. This would be a great addition to the sentence diagramming tool that already exists on Logos. Arcing is an extremely helpful tool, and yet there is no way to do this on Logos, which is unfortunate and surprising, considering how powerful (and…
