9. Audio & Video Narration
BibleText.com features the complete KJV Bible narrated by Alexander Scourby — the most celebrated voice in Bible audio history — for all 66 books. The New Testament (Matthew through Revelation) also includes Scenic Wonders Bible video narration with stunning scenic footage.
How to use narration
- Open any reading chapter. A media bar appears at the bottom of the screen.
- The bar shows two toggle buttons: Audio and Video (Video only appears for New Testament chapters). Click either to start narration.
- Click the active button again to switch it off (silence). Click the inactive button to switch modes.
- Your preference is saved automatically — coming back to the same chapter will resume from where you left off.
Verse Follow Highlight
As narration plays, the Follow toggle (in the media bar) synchronizes a gold highlight to the verse currently being read aloud. This makes it easy to read along while listening. Toggle it on or off at any time during playback.
Jumping to a specific verse
When you arrive at a reading page via a concordance, topic, or search result link that targets a specific verse, the narration will automatically seek to that verse and begin playing from there (with the verse highlighted). The saved position for that chapter is not overwritten, so your regular reading spot is preserved.
