Audio Settings Menu
All audio settings for playing translated audio are located under the Audio Settings Menu. This menu is accessed by selecting the Audio Settings icon on the right side of the audio player.
Audio Modes
While in a foreign language, there are three audio formats available to choose from: Live Translation, Gap Tape and English Audio With Subtitles.
Live Translation
Live Translation allows Brother Branham and the translator to play simultaneously. There is no pause between Brother Branham and the translator. They both play at the same time.
Gap Tape
In Gap Tape mode, you will hear Brother Branham followed by a translator. When Brother Branham is finished speaking, the English audio will pause until the translator is finished speaking. When the translator is finished, Brother Branham will start speaking again.
English Audio With Subtitles
English audio with subtitles allows the English audio to play while the translated subtitles scroll along. A translator is not heard.
How To play translated audio
- Select a sermon from the Sermon Index to open.
- Press play to begin playing.
A Missing content symbol will appear next to the sermon title in the Sermon Index to notify the user something is missing. It may be translated audio or subtitles.
If there is no missing content symbol next to the title of the sermon in the Sermon Index, it should have translated audio available to play. If there is a missing content symbol next to the title, it does not necessarily mean it is missing translated audio. It may be missing subtitles instead. Open the sermon to find out.
The audio format will default to English Audio With Subtitles if there is no translated audio available to play.
Switching Audio Formats
The Audio Format options are located under the Audio Settings menu.
- Locate the audio player. If you are in full screen mode, you may need to scroll down.

All and Current Sermon Tabs
There are two main tabs in the Search View.
The All tab allows you to search in all sermons while the Current Sermon tab allows you to search only within the sermon that is open.
Search Types
There are two basic types of searches: the all words search and the exact phrase search.
All Words search
All Words searches for a collection of words within a quote. The words do not have to be found in the same order in the quote as they were entered into the search field or even be contained in the same phrase.
Exact Phrase search
Exact Phrase searches for a specific sequence of words, finding the search terms exactly as they were entered into the dialog box.
To show the difference between the two:
Typing the words "Holy Spirit" will find hits containing both the words spirit and holy, when used in the All Words option.
If you tap the exact phrase button, you will see only hits containing the exact phrase: Holy Spirit.
In the All tab, select the all words search and type in the word "spirit."
Notice the word prediction as you type. Each word includes the number of times the word is used. This helps you refine your search terms.
Expand Or Limit Searches
Add an asterisk(*) at the end to expand the search.
Using this wildcard, it will find all words starting with spirit, such as spiritual or spiritualism.
Notice that the hit count increases.
There’s another special character in advanced search:
The @ sign allows you to limit the search to a date range, and restrict your hit count.
To search only the sermons preached in 1963, type: @63
To search only the sermons preached in June 1963, type: @63-06
Once you’ve found a search result you like, simply tap on that quote, and the Table will load the sermon with the search terms you used highlighted in the text.
Search History
If you would like to load a past search, rather than typing it out again, select the search history button.
This will display a list of previous searches.
Tap on one to load the search.
If you would like to delete any past searches, press and hold on the search.
The clear button allows you to delete the entire list of past searches.
The Highlighter allows for fast highlighting.
Simply:

With this method you can highlight a phrase with two touches or many phrases with only 3 touches. For more than one phrase, touch the start phrase, then the last phrase, then the highlighter.
If you do not wish to keep the highlight: simply tap the highlighted text to enable a “remove” button in your list of highlighters.

If you have many different highlighters, the “search for highlighters” feature may be useful to you. This allows you to search and quickly access highlighter names.
Example: Searching for “Holy Ghost” will bring up the “Holy Ghost” highlighter.
Next to the search field are the highlight sorting options.
These allow you to view your highlights alphabetically, by the date created, or the order you last used them in, so the most used highlighters appear first.
Choosing custom will allow you to place the highlighters in any order you wish, by touching a highlighter in the list and dragging it to the correct location.

- Swipe in the color wheel to choose your color.
