Read to me? Dude. Far out. Heavy. (Guess my journey thru the 1960's is showing.)
But seriously. How cool is that.
Actually I've been reading all of the online reviews I can find on L4 and it makes my head spin. Once again, congrats to Logos!
Utilize a powerful Pane and Tab system instead of Cascading Windows?
Yes, it can, and how!
Anthony..
I LOVE the tab and pane method of window organization!
I love that it groups similar items!
Excellent dual monitor support! There's my love.
Is it limited to two monitors? Or is it multi-monitor? I have (5) 36" monitors. Wouldn't that be fun?

As far as I know..its to infinity...and beyond. You can have as many floating windows as you want. Just put it on the other monitor. Saving a layout saves which monitor they are on. There are some restrictions...if you want to highlight the markup pane must be in the window of the pane you want to mark up. But by in large there is much flexability here.
How do you get it to read to you?
Yeah, How?
[:O]
[I guess the monitors are only limited by the graphics card's capabilities.]
in the window you want read, click the book in the upper left, then select read aloud. Also as the below screen shot shows you can press Ctr + R to start reading at the cursor.
Logos uses whatever the voice is currently for Windows. No offense to Microsoft Sam, but he has serious speech issues. If you are serious about using the reader it is highly recommended you purchase a better voice. I use Paul and he sounds good to me.
"Paul?"
Oh, and what's the cost to purchase a voice?
I got my voices a while ago along with software called natural reader (http://www.naturalreaders.com/). I didn't like the software but I still use the voice.
Thanks. I remember Phil Gons mentioning a voice for his program some time back, but I can't remember the software that provides it or how much it costs.
I checked into some voices during the beta cycle. They ran about $70 at the time.

I actually bought the Greek Audio New Testament for V3...so far...no sign that it works in V4
LOL :-)
Robert,
Mine works okay. Makesure you have the resource window active and hit CTRL+R. It starts a little slow, but it does work. Does you audio player come up (green arrow) Are you in the NA27? (highlighted). If you do the visual indicator should dislay where the audio is at in the text (circled in red). Other than that, I have no othersuggestions, Sorry. [:S]
The Greek Audio NT should work for Logos 4, though you'd need an updated version of the resource. (Which should be automatically downloaded.) To run it you use the same "Read Aloud" feature, but do it while the NA27 is open. If this doesn't work let me know and we'll look into it.
I already have NaturalReader. I bought it a couple of years ago.
How do I switch the voices that come with NR in for MS Anna.
For Windows 7 (64bit) if you want to use 32 bit voices you might want to try the following, worked for me with Nautral Reader:
You can access the 32 bit speech control panel by opening windows explorer, and pasting the following text into the address field at the top:
%windir%\SysWOW64\speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl
Press the enter key to display the control panel (Choose Run when prompted) , select the desired voice (assuming you already installed the 32 bit voice).
If you are on 32 bit OS, the SPeech Recognition applet is readily available in Control Panel.
Bob,
Does the Greek Audio NT not have a visual indicator following the text in L4? My does not. Other than that it works.
