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.

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).
Please add this -- it would be helpful when printing our sermons, especially.

All audiobook apps have an Android Auto component so books can be listened to while in the car and connected to Android Auto. There is no way to use Logos to listen to books in the car while connected to Android Auto that I can figure out.
I would really love to see a shortcut "button" for quick return to default formatting for font and size. Often, when I paste something into a note it has a different font and size and then my typing after the copy and paste has that as well. I would love to have an inserted button in the toolbar to return to default with…
