What can GoBible® products do that my I-Pod or any other MP3 player cannot?
The Voyager and Original GoBible® are the first devices in the world that has the audio of the Bible cut to the verse level. Most other audio versions of the Bible are cut and indexed to the chapter level, so if you have downloaded the bible audio to your I-Pod or MP3 player and press fast forward, the audio will go from say, chapter 3 to chapter 4. The Voyager and Original GoBible® contain over 31,000 individually cut and indexed verses so you may search and begin play at any verse in the entire Bible. This had never been done before with the audio version of the Bible and it represents a real breakthrough in technology!
Moreover, the Voyager and Original GoBible® comes with Features that go beyond any Bible downloads. These include a Story Index of over 230 of the most popular Bible stories easily catalogued and accessible, a Topic Index, a Holiday/Events Index, a Bible in a Year program and a Bookmark feature.
What are the differences between the GoBible Voyager, Original GoBible and GoBible Traveler?
You may view the differences between our products here.
Do I need to download anything to listen to the Bible on the GoBible Devices?
No. All of our units have the enire Bible, over 70 hours of audio, preloaded on the device so out of the box, you may listen to the Bible. The Original GoBible and the Traveler are dedicated devices that do not hook up to a computer. The Voyager has 3 gigabytes of free space for you to download your own content.
How do I know what I am listening to while the device is playing?
The screen of the Original GoBible® and the Voyager will tell you exactly what you are listening to. It will tell you the book, chapter and verse that is playing. Moreover, when the verse changes in the audio, that change will be reflected on the screen so you may always tell exactly where you are in the audio.
The GoBible Traveler will always display the book and chapter that is currently playing.
Can I search the menus while the GoBible® device is playing?
Yes. While the audio is playing, you can search out different parts of the menus to look for something else and you can easily return to the Play page should you decide to stay put. The only time you cannot do this is when then voice menu on the Voyager or Original is activated.
What versions of the Bible are GoBible® products available in?
Currently the GoBible Voyager and Original GoBible® are available in the New International Version read by Charles Taylor and the King James Version read by Alexander Scourby.
