Anything like Amazon's WhisperSync that ties audio resources to text resources on mobile app?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I like to use a combination of audio and visual when reading books, at least to be able to switch between them depending on where I am. (Amazon's WhisperSync allows me to flip between the visual text and audio text - actually it displays both together but I only need them to be tied to the same point in the resource). When I listen to one of my Bibles on my mobile app, I can never get it to play one of my downloaded audio resources for the same Bible version, it always plays the electronic voice. Is there any chance that I can listen to a real narrator speaking the text I have on the screen?

I use Dwell for listening to the bible because it does that, but it would be nice if something like that existed for Logos.

Thanks for note about Dwell, I wasn't aware of that. The "read along" feature as they call it is very helpful when one wants to switch between text and audio. I used it frequently on Kindle/Audible when I was commuting where I only used audio but if there was a critical part to read, I'd simply stop it and the current text would be displayed for bookmarking or reading when I got to work. If there are many paired audio/text resources in Logos (certainly there are some Bibles and other books already), this would be a nice feature. Either that or I need to get over the artificial sound of the electronic voices that read text in Logos.

I ‘hope’ that with all the Ai stuff Logos is doing, they use that to make the electronic voices sound better.
