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).

Before the last major UI overhaul the Interlinear was a toggle. Now it is buried in a menu that is sometimes hidden when viewing 2 books side by side. It is in the view menu. Then you have to open a dropdown. And only then by the 3rd click can you toggle it on or off. Can we a toggle at least one level up.
Has Logos considered a Family Sharing edition? I'd be willing to pay an extra monthly fee to be able to share my library with my 2 teenage children. They can come into my office and read any book in my wall of bookshelves right now, but I can't share my Logos resources with them. I see some great advantages for families if…
Is there any type of posting of Logos users in the area where you live?
I enjoy the input box for passage lists on desktop version. When creating a passage list in iOS, it only has one mechanism to input passages, which is to select boxes. I want to copy and paste a list of scriptures into the input box as on the desktop version. This is helpful if a group of passages is found on a website,…
