Using the cassette recorder

How to use the Record page and cassette interface.

Open Record from the bottom navigation.

Choose a passage

On the cassette label, use the dropdowns to select:

  • Book (e.g. Genesis)
  • Chapter (e.g. 1)
  • Start verse and End verse (e.g. 1 through 31)

The passage reference and your active Bible translation appear on the label.

Start recording

  1. Tap the red record button on the cassette (or Record Verse below).
  2. On mobile, a short countdown may appear before recording starts.
  3. Read the highlighted verse aloud clearly.
  4. Tap Next Verse to advance, or Pause / Resume as needed.
  5. When finished, tap All Done or Done.

During a session

  • Previous — go back one verse
  • Redo — re-record the current verse
  • Progress bar — shows where you are in the range

Verse highlighting

  • The current verse is highlighted in mint green.
  • Verses you've already recorded appear dimmed (based on your recording scope setting).

The Smart Selection panel can set your range automatically:

  • Start = next unrecorded verse for you (or your family, depending on scope)
  • End = end of the chapter
