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).
Some aspects of early Logos were truly innovative taking advantage of capabilities that would not be possible with pen and paper - my personal favorite: Some of this innovation remains but as a whole the emphasis changed to automating 19th century textual analysis. I am waiting to see Logos implement something truly new as…
Support reverse interlinears in the Logos mobile app.
The removal of the handout text from the sermon text is supremely unhelpful. When I print off my sermon outline, it must include the lines for the handout.
Hi, I am from India. The price of individual books, bibles & premium subscription is well priced. I do find some of the prices of the some bundles to be high. I think it could be solved by having pricing dependant on Purchasing power parity (PPP) of a country or having a bit more discount. Those bundles are too expensive…
Bulgarian is one of the few languages for which no bible is available to date - keeping Logos from being used there.
