Strong's Talking Hebrew and Greek Dictionary

Today "Strong's Talking Hebrew and Greek Dictionary" showed up in my library. Was kind of looking forward to it as I used it in Wordsearch. So I went to open it up in Logos and it took a while to load, actual got the (Not Responding) error, but it did load, took about 30 seconds. When it finally loaded it was not what it was in Wordsearch. I assume it is not completed, even though it has shown up in my library. I have "The Complete Word Study Dictionary" open so I tried to link the two together, but they do not link. And the verbal pronunciation is not available either.

To check the opening of "Strong's Talking..." I closed the tab, closed down Logos, waited a little while and opened Logos and went to the library and open up :Strong's Talking..." and it did the same as before, took about 30 seconds to open, got the (Not Responding) error also.

When it finally loaded it was not what it was in Wordsearch.

I see the following differences:

Missing Table of Contents
No Strong's links / hover tips
No links to Vine's
No icon to click to play the pronunciation

Is there anything else you want to draw our attention to?

Correct. As you can see on the migration page, it's currently listed as an "Ebook". This has limited functionality compared to a "Logos Research" edition. See https://community.logos.com/forums/p/193938/1117970.aspx#1117970 for more details on our plan to get Ebooks (produced by automated conversions) out first, then upgrade them later.

Thanks for the update. I had seen "ebook" but didn't know what it was.

Thanks again.

Looking at screen shots in post => https://community.logos.com/forums/p/196991/1140934.aspx#1140934 noticed Usage Note indentation differences.

Hello, is there any idea how long it will take for y'all to fix the Talking part of this module?

I don't know exactly what this feature will end up being in Logos, but it sounds like it will be somewhat similar to how Strong's was implemented in L3. In the KJV and the NASB (because they are both on the word-for-word end of the translation spectrum), when a user hovered their cursor over a word in their Bible, a pop-up of the underlying Strong's word appeared allowing the user to know instantly what the OL word was with ZERO clicking! This is an incredibly helpful and efficient way of making the OL info available to users.

Personally, I don't care about the talking aspect of this feature. But aside from that, will this feature bear any similarity to the feature from L3 that I described above?

The WordSearch resource required a click on a Strongs Number (link) to access the talking feature (somewhat like a right click on a word then choosing the lemma and pronounce icons from the popup menu).

Just hovering on the Strong's number would create a popup but you could not access the pronounce icon/feature.

You also had to have the Strong's numbers visible to use the feature, not the word itself. So from your description of how L3 worked I would not count on it working the same, but I could be happily mistaken.

It's looking like an update will be available in late-August/early-September.
