Phonetic Bible

Timothy · 2025-07-17T19:15:59+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

The physical Bible that I have, has the phonetic pronunciations of cities and names. Is there a way to have this feature in Logos, especially the KJV of the Bible?

Without having to right click the word, but the phonetic pronunciation is already in the text itself.

Thank you, Pastor Tim

Here are a couple of ideas to get the conversation going, and hopefully help!

The KJV interlinear has the option to provide transliteration of the manuscript. I have the manuscript and the transliteration displaying here.
The Pronunciation Tool allows you to search in English, Greek, or Hebrew.

I'm sure others can jump in and assist further!

Good information. I will look into that.

What I am referring to is like the Cambridge Concord KJV Bible that has the phonetic symbols in the names of people and places to pronounce them in English.

For example: Dī'-bǒn in the Cambridge Concord in the actual translation. It is like that throughout the whole Bible. I was just wondering if Logos would ever think of doing a feature like that. Scanning a Cambridge Bible that has the phonetic pronunciation in it and then digitizing it.

Thank you again for the quick response. I will look into that.

Yet the right-click is the most convenient as it also provides access to your lexicon(s) for pronunciation as well as the the Pronunciation tool (for Greek/Hebrew bibles and translations with Interlinears). So it is unlikely to be provided in the text itself. Bibles without morphology or Interlinears e.g. KJV would only display the text provided by the publisher.
