How Do I Listen to my Logos Resources?

Note: This feature is available to all users.

All Logos resources feature the option to read the text aloud using the system narrator or, in some resources, a recorded human narrator. Here’s how to access and use the feature.

Note: System narration is disabled on some resources at the publisher's request.

Change Narrator

Start/Stop Reading

1. Navigate to the passage you want to hear.
2. Press Ctrl+R (Windows) or Cmd+R (Mac) to begin narration.
3. A media player bar appears at the bottom right.

   

4. Press Ctrl+R / Cmd+R again to stop narration and close the media player bar.

Media Player Controls

The media controls are:

• and stop or start narration without closing the media player bar
• The title of the resource being read
• The progress slider and elapsed time in the chapter (or section)
  

  Note: Elapsed time is based on 1x speed and does not change when the reading speed is altered.

•  rewinds the audio playback by 30 seconds
• The narration speed button allows you to choose the narration speed from 1x through 1.4x, 2x, and .75x.
•  closes the media player and stops playback.

Change Narrator

For resources with a custom narrator, such as the LEB (New Testament) and ESV, you can switch between the human and system narrator.

1. Open the Bible's Tools tab.
2. Click Read Aloud.
3. Select a human narrator or the System Narrator (the option of using a human narrator is only available for the ESV and LEB).
   

   

Note: Selecting Show word by word indicator activates a small gray dot that synchronizes with the narration. This option is only available when using "custom voices" (i.e. not the system narrator) and is therefore limited to the ESV and LEB. When reading in other Bibles, an orange circle appears briefly indicating the start of each new verse.

Note: This feature is available in all subscriptions.

Logos resources feature the option to read the text aloud. Here’s how to access and use the feature.

Note: This works for most resources but not all.

Tap the audio icon at the top of your resource to start audio playback. This will open a small panel at the bottom of the resource showing some simple controls providing the ability to start and stop the audio playing, to skip forward or backward by single verses or whole chapters, and to adjust the speed of the narration.

Swipe up on the panel to show all controls:

• Move to the beginning or end of the track
• Move to the next sentence or verse (in either direction)
• Access the book's Table of Contents 
• Adjust playback speed
• Select different voices

To adjust playback speed, tap the speed icon and select your required playback speed using the slider.

To select a different voice, tap the voice icon and select your preferred voice.
