Read Aloud control

Bob Diebel

Where would I best get more help on using "Read Aloud"

How do I start where I want, go back, or forward, pause? What increments are possible?

Any control over how often the current reading position is flashed on the screen?

It seems a fantastic plus to someone like me, who reads a lot, but for some reason is still not good at it.

However I have not found granular enough control over this function.

All help much appreciated

This Document states:

"You can pause the Read Aloud by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl R or on the Mac Cmd R. To restart Read Aloud from where you paused it, use the keyboard shortcut again. "

But if I pause, It starts again at the start.

The start of reading aloud is not from the top of page in my resource, or the page number which I turned on, as suggested, but at a major division. If I pause, and it starts at the beginning, and takes a long time to get back to where I paused.

This could be to do with the level of control in different resources. Maybe I need to be able to tell what level of control I am going to get for a certain resource. ??

Replicated Logos 4.3 SR-1 on Mac and Windows regression that removed Read Aloud pause option; updated wiki => http://wiki.logos.com/Read_Aloud page.

Using Logos 4.3 SR-1, can replicate jump to a milestone to begin reading vis starting at top of panel. Created post => BUG: Logos 4.3 SR-1 Read Aloud Regression

Edit option: can add BUG: prefix to forum post title, wiki has Using the Forums page.

Learning Logos 4.3 starts reading at a resource milestone. Bibles and Bible Commentaries have a milestone for every verse. Monograph resources may only have page number milestones. If middle of page displayed, starting Read Aloud scrolls resource up to page number, then starts reading.

Audio player controls have play and pause. Noticeably missing are forward and reverse.

Appears current reading position flashes at a resource milestone.

However I have not found granular enough control over this function.

Looking at Logos User Voice, noticed Read Aloud and Improve reading aloud with status planned that includes Logos response: "We plan to fix this (and other defects) in Read Aloud in a future version."
