Tap and Play - This links the text to the audio. You can now search for a quote, highlight it, and then press a button to start playing at that location! Read Along - Read Along scrolls the page as needed to keep the text on the page as the audio is playing. Highlights and Notes - You can assign your highlights to more than one category. For example, a Quote that you would like to remember about the influence of music on young people could be tagged in many categories like Children, Influence, and Music. You do not have to choose the “best” category to store the highlight in. Later when you are researching any of those subjects, that quote is not missing. Subtitle - Subtitle is a Read Along mode that has been formatted to appear as large as possible on the screen with as few distractions as possible. One of its designed uses would be in a church for the projection of the text as you are listening to the sermon. Many Tablets support adapters that allow an external monitor or projector to mirror the display. This allows many people to view the screen at the same time. The Subtitle viewer also works well if you need larger text to read. This feature will really shine as we start adding foreign languages to the app in the future.

Search the sermons of William Marrion Branham using exact match or word match. You can also use dynamic search which uses a learning technology that seeks to understand what you are searching for and links your search to specific phrases and quotes. Our app provides: - Dynamic search: a whole new approach to searching the Message. With the help of AI, you will have very powerful machine learning algorithms to help you find quotes related to your queries using context and the semantics of the input text - All words search: if you don't remember the exact wording, but have a pretty good idea of a quote, use the all words search to find your results - Exact match search: if you remember the exact wording of a quote, use the exact match search to get to it immediately - Read the Message: If you want to read a sermon, go ahead! - History: locally saved and never shared online, your previous search results are saved on your device for future reference.
