1. Add speaker icons to words in interlinear Bibles

   Being able to hear the sound of the Greek by clicking on the speaker icon in an exegetical guide is great. But it would be much better if it was also available in the interlinear display as well. It would allow those unfamiliar with Greek to learn it much easier, without having to go to the hassle of the slow exegetical guide for each verse. This could be selected/deselected like the other interlinear features.

2. Improve reading aloud

   It would be nice if it was on all resources, and you scroll along with the reading.( because if you do that now it will stop reading, and on only one source the computer scrolled along with it, THAT WOULD BE BEST!!)

5. Create a proprietary Logos e-ink reader

   Find a company that builds and designs e-ink tablet readers and create a Logos proprietary reader, similar in many ways to a Kindle PaperWhite. All I have to do is log into my Logos account and voila, all my Logos resources are available for me to read, just like I used to be able to do with the send to Kindle feature, but this would be a Logos-branded reader, so you don't have to deal with all those crazy lawyers trying to get us to buy books twice (or more) just so we can read them on different platforms. I would buy a tablet reader like this in a heartbeat!!!

6. Nota Bene, a powerful word processor & bibliographic tool right within Logos https://faithlife.com/nota-bene-software/ Paper Writing Heaven

   If you already use Nota Bene you know how great this software is for writing and research. Imagine all the benefits of Nota Bene, Ibidem and Orbis right in the framework of Logos. With the Nota Bene word processor one could write their next paper, article, or full length book with all the benefits of picking your styles (Turabian, APA, etc.) and utilizing the bibliographic manager of Ibidem.

   Logos already has a word processor within it, to take notes, though this is nothing compared to the engine of Nota Bene. Logos also has it's own bibliographic tools to keep track of resources, though not as detailed as that of Nota Bene's Ibidem. Logos also has the Personal Books feature to add your own writing into Logos, though imagine if all the benefits of Orbis were working hand in hand within Logos. To be able to search every major library in the World, and create a Bibliography with every detail that library databases utilize, is simply remarkable.

   If you have not yet used Nota Bene, please take the time to look at their site and get a trial version of the software. The online tutorials show just how useful this software is, which is used by many major Seminaries and Scholars Worldwide.

   Check out the word processor here: http://www.notabene.com/brochures/notabene.html

   Ibidem, the bibliographic manager, here: http://www.notabene.com/brochures/ibidem.html

   Orbis, the database tool, here: http://www.notabene.com/brochures/orbis.html

   N.T. Wright has used Nota Bene for years, among many other notable Scholars: http://www.notabene.com/NBAuthors/NT_Wright.html

   Please join this group: https://faithlife.com/nota-bene-software/ and show your support for Nota Bene. We hope to see Nota Bene and Logos partner together in the near future, to help us all in our academic pursuits.

   Thank you,
   Shine

9. Automatic sentence diagram tool

   Some resources, like The Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament: Expansions and Annotations, contain all the morphological and syntactic elements to allow an auto generation of line sentence diagrams. What about a tool which automatically built a line sentence diagram after parsing such resources? Would it be excessive as a requisite?

10. Export Highlighted Text

    I tend to read with a highlighter in hand and would like to mimic this in Logos. It would be great to be able to just easily highlight as I read along; and then export my highlighted sentences or paragraphs into the notes (with cites) so they could be printed, exported or searched. This would be a great aide for researchers.

11. footnote like libronix - example

    How Libronix works with footnotes and how Logos 5 does not work

    Our students would appreciate it so much if Logos 5 could have this feature present in Libronix

    This is how the Libronix Digital Library works with collected items in the clip board

    I can collect as many quotes as the Word clipboard permits and when I go to the document(s) where I want to use them they foot note very beautifully .

    Introduction: Creation and Chaos 1:1–2

    The unit begins with a concern central throughout Genesis 1–11, the creating God and chaos. We commonly translate these two verses as two complete sentences [1]

    Genesis is a name taken from the Greek, and signifies “the book of generation or production;” it is properly so called, as containing an account of the origin of all things. There is no other history so old. There is nothing in the most ancient book which exists that contradicts it; while many things recorded by the oldest heathen writers, or to be traced in the customs of different nations, confirm what is related in the book of Genesis. [2]

    The passage.—This magnificent chapter is one of the most concise and dramatic sections of the Old Testament. It indeed covers a longer period of time than all of the rest of the Bible, yet with an overview that could only come from the perspective of divine revelation. Some have called it a creation hymn, but this cannot be true, for it is in prose. It shows every evidence of being intended for liturgical use, of being recited in public worship. It was not intended to be dissected by theologians, but to be listened to and proclaimed. It is clear that the [3]

    This is how Logos 5 does the same collection unless I do one at a time. No footnote!!! Totally unacceptable for college work. Cannot Logos 5 have this same important feature that the old Libronix does?

12. FACTBOOK: DICTIONARIES ARE IGNORED

    There are two problems with factbook
    1. first, factbook does not always pull up entries in ABD. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't even though in both cases there is a specific heading in ABD

    1. second, factbook NEVER pulls up entries in some dictionaries like: https://www.logos.com/product/6374/a-dictionary-of-the-bible even though they are priorized to the top I resources

13. Manual Save/import/export of Notes/Collections/Layouts/Filters/Searches .

    Opps... I didn't want to delete that!! Sound familiar? Allow users to manually save, import & export items such as collections, notes, filters, layouts, search results, etc. This will permit recovery from accidental deletion/edits. It also allows users to select a subset of items to have available at a given time, without losing the others.

14. Complete My Resource/Commentary Set

    Logos software can keep track of the resources currently owned and create a list to recommend updates or additional resources to complete a set (e.g. the NAC has had a few additions in the past few months, so keeping a tab on those resources to remind me to purchase in order to complete my commentary set). I'm OCD and like full sets, but have a hard time keeping up with which commentary sets have new resources.

15. Add text to speech function

    Would be great to hear our Logos books and Bibles read aloud to us on all platforms (Windows, Android, Mac, iphone) [in that order :-)].
    Perhaps start with adding a listen to bible verses as part of the new Scripture memory tool. What a great way to memorize Scripture!
    
    You can check out esvbible.org for an example of listening to a passage function. Kindle and some other epub readers in Android have text to speech functions that allow you to hear your book read. Would be great on Logos. thanks!

16. Stylus, and multitasking support on Android devices! (Namley the Samsung Galaxy Note 1, 10.1, and 2)

    I have moved to using logos as my primary study medium. I have been using it on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet every morning for worship and have really appreciated the fact that I can now highlight, take notes, etc. But... when you have a pen, particularly a good pen like the Note has, you want to be able to turn the pages with your hand, and use the stylus like you would a highlighter. No dialogue boxes to go through everytime.

    Maybe it could be setup so that you could select your current highlighter type, then, whenever you want to highlight something, you just use the pen. When you want to turn the page, you use your finger. I believe the S-Pen SDK that Samsung provides helps make this as painless a possible.

    And finally, the samsung devices allow for split screen. My understanding is that the Note 2's software will allow third parties to allow their apps to be split screened. This is great because then I could take handwritten notes in their nice note taking app while having logos up at the same time. There are lots of other useful cases for this too, like having the days lesson open on the right, and being able to see the text passages on the left.

    It would really fill out all the needs I have for a more natural Bible study experience.

17. Take the restrictions off of Sermon Editor

    Greetings, let me begin by saying just how giddy I am that I now have Logos 7. I love it and have loved the software since Logos 1 (CD Word days). I am writing to ask for a couple of enhancements.

    1st. Basics of Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary. You should make the words it is pronouncing bigger. Its not like you don’t have plenty of space in the left panel. It would help so that the pointing would be easier to see. Please change that.
    2nd - I was so very excited to learn about the improvements to the sermon guide AKA sermon editor. Your instructional video touts its ability to make slides using the outline feature. Much to my horror and dismay its not quite what its advertised to be or at least the logical inference to be drawn from what is stated. The video shows a heading being chosen and words typed. Those words appear almost immediately in newly created slide. Now the most obvious expectation is that you could continue typing words under the heading and those words would be added to the slide. Not so. Ok, no problem so far. Because the next logical idea would be that you must be able to drag over the words typed and click on the add to slide icon and create the slide. Not So! I called tech service and was told oh no, L7 sermon editor is not a full fledged slide generator. My immediate and unfiltered response (in my mind but not said to the tech person) was then the sermon editor is nothing more than a tease!!! The Tech service person went on to explain that the thinking at Faithlife was that you didn’t want the sermon editor to compete with Proclaim. My response was that is not good thinking. The whole thrust of the L7 presentation was that sermon editor was going to make the sermon preparation easier. I found it to be so frustrating that I went back to my tried and true methods. Here is the sad part, what Sermon Editor touts itself as being able to do is exactly what one would want it to do. As for the “don’t want it to compete with Presentation” comment. l’ll admit that I know the underlying logic. Usually, software developers will present a limited functioning software that kinda does what their premier software does. However, the trade off is price. We couldn’t let you do for a $50 piece of software what our $500 software does. I get it. But Logos 7 is by no means the cheap knockoff to Proclaim.
    
    I want to suggest that the non-compete ideology is most as in most unfortunate. Why should you be able to make the slides in Sermon Editor. I don’t mind that you cannot add your own logos and graphics, but you certainly should be able to add your words. I mean come on now! If you don’t then you’ve really hamstrung this great tool. I implore you to reconsider and make the Sermon Editor functional as a slide generator. Just to be fair too, I did sign up for Proclaim.

    Thank you very much for considering my recommendations

    Kingdom Blessings

    Bishop Clifford L. Frazier
