HB101 suggestion about using Pronunciation tool

NB.Mick pointed out the Hebrew Audio Pronunciations to help with practicing reading Hebrew.

I confess the Pronunciation tool's been built into the program and available to me all along, but I never thought about using it.

If you could add a link to (or exercise or activity that utilizes the) Pronunciation tool from within the course, it might save others some struggle or needless effort to accomplish what Logos already offers.

I think this is one of those UX issues where the tools are hidden in a menu, out of sight, and if you don't regularly use specific tools, you forget they're there.

One of the things Logos does right, is it puts a speaker icon in places like Factbook or Bible Word Study, to make it apparent that a pronunciation is readily available.

If pronunciation could gain a more visible place, such as on the right click menu or Info results, it would make it much more "accessible" in general. I often click a word to check its meaning, and it would be great to hear the word too, in the same results (without having to reprioritize resources to put a resource with pronunciations above more valuable lexicon results).

Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

    I actually thought we had included a link to it in one of the early activities, but it looks like it got missed. I've added a link to it in activities for the "Putting Consonants and Vowels Together" segment, and we'll get the resource updated.

    Thanks, Miles!

    While updating the course, could you also look into this issue which seems to be specific to HB101? There might also be some missing links too, as there are segments now with no readings at all.
