Read Aloud Is A Wonderful Feature in Logos 10

The read aloud feature on nearly every book is great! I have used it on John Wesley's Journal. I lead a discussion group on Wesley's Journal every first and second Thursday of the month. And this feature has made Wesley's Journal into an audiobook to help me prepare. The reader is much better than I expected it to be. Thanks!

Hello Friend! [:)]

It is nice, isn't it! Hope all is well with you.

I confess I still wish for better. The other day I discovered that Max MacLean's wonderful audio version of the NIV is available for free on BibleGateway, and you can navigate right to any chapter in any book and have him start reading.

I wish Logos could get permission to incorporate this, but then again I have access to it online now, so I don't really need it in Logos. But it sure makes Logos's computer voice seem lame in comparison, even though it's much better than it used to be. And it would be nice not to have to switch away from Logos to do some devotional listening to the reading. It would be cool to have this connected up so you could listen to the daily lectionary readings in Max McLean's reading voice.

I, too have higher hopes for Read Aloud on the Desktop. Regarding machine narration, with the new implementation of Read Aloud on the Mobile Apps, not only do bilingual users not have to close and reopen the program to change voices, the app chooses from default voices based on the language of the resource. That would be really helpful on the Desktop.

Totally agree! Hopefully FL will bring the Read Aloud functionality from Mobile back to Desktop, e.g. a nicer Read Aloud interface, ability to choose voices, more choices for speed, skip to next or previous sentence, etc.

I too hope for better things to come with the read aloud voices.

How do I adjust the speed of reading on a Mac....right now it sounds like a drunk guy trying to slur his way through required reading

How do I adjust the speed of reading on a Mac...

In the audio player, there is a button to press which cylces through various speeds. NOTE: The audio player used to be up top... it is now in a popup at the bottom of the resource.

Took me awhile to find the control panel ... they don't put it on the same window as the text being read. And it gets mixed up on its Cmd-R start/stop depending on the window.

Testing a little more, indeed, it's catch as catch can, on whether there's a control panel at all. I haven't seen the common denominator of viewable (main window lower-right), or not anywhere.

...weird. It did for me, but I was using my right panel that stretches from top to bottom.
