B8 - Read aloud - Multilingual ?

Listening to "Read aloud" for "The New Testament in the Original Greek | Logos WH" => a most curious dialect, quite different from individual word pronunciations.

Trying "Read aloud" in "The Lexham Syntatic Greek New Testament: Expansions and and Annotations | Lexham SGNT Notes" reads English decently, but skips over Greek words.

Hence, wondering about Read aloud multilingual ? (e.g. Greek and English)

    Read Aloud does not read Greek or Hebrew correctly. It is a function that is handled by Windows and uses the default voice selected for Windows, which is English for English speakers. 

    If you own the Greek Audio New Testament, it uses the voice of John Schwandt reading the Greek. You can find a list of resources it works in here: http://www.logos.com/products/details/4206.

    Does this work in L4? Are there any English Equivalents?

    “... every day in which I do not
    penetrate more deeply into the knowledge of God’s Word in Holy Scripture
    is a lost day for me. I can only move forward with certainty upon the
    firm ground of the Word of God.”

    Yes, it does work in L4. It uses the Read Aloud feature. Read Aloud comes with Logos 4 and reads your English resources.

    Okay, so the read aloud feature will use the JS reading the Greek in L4, and use the default in Windows for English?

    Are there any English readings like the JS Greej available? I remember something in the Libronix Betas that did this. But don't know if it ever came to light in final releases.

    It uses Professor Schwandt's voice reading the Greek if you've purchased the Greek Audio New Testament.

    I'm not finding any information on Greej.

    That was supposed to be Greek... [:P] I was trying to ask if there was an audio bible in English available, not the text to speech. I was thinking that there used to be an Alexander Scourby Audio Bible at one time during the betas of Libronix 3. I didn't know if this ever became a reality or not.

    Ha!  There isn't an English Audio Bible in the works that I'm aware of.
