Listen to BibleHub
Turn any biblehub.com page into audio. Open the chapter, parallel view, or commentary in Chrome, click CastReader, and listen — with paragraph highlighting. Built for the parallel-translation reader who wants ten translations and audio at once.
Why Listen to BibleHub with CastReader?
BibleHub is the parallel-translation site — 20+ translations stacked per verse, with Strong's, lexicons, and 30+ commentaries one click away. CastReader handles every page type.
Parallel View
Reads Stacked Translations One by One
BibleHub's signature view: every verse stacked across 10–20 translations (KJV, NKJV, ESV, NASB, NIV, NLT, BSB, CSB, RSV, ASV, YLT, the Douay, the Vulgate, the LXX). CastReader reads through them in order — useful for hearing how a single verse reads across the spectrum from formal-equivalent to dynamic-equivalent.
Commentary
Reads Commentary Pages Whole
BibleHub aggregates commentaries from Matthew Henry, Pulpit, Cambridge, Ellicott, Barnes, Gill, Calvin, Wesley, MacLaren, and more. Open a verse's commentary page; CastReader reads each commentator in sequence. A single verse's commentary set can be a 30–40 minute listen.
Strong's Friendly
Skips Strong's Numbers in Verse Reading
BibleHub's interlinear and Strong's pages inline Greek/Hebrew root tags. CastReader reads the verse text — not the H430, G2316 codes. The numbers stay on screen as clickable links to the lexicon.
Concordance
Concordance Search Results Read in Order
Search a word in Strong's or English on BibleHub and you get a verse list. CastReader reads each verse in the result list — useful for word studies where you want to hear every occurrence in context.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about listening to BibleHub with CastReader
How do I listen to a BibleHub chapter?
Open the chapter on biblehub.com in Chrome. Click the CastReader icon. Audio plays the page contents — for the standard chapter view, that's the verse text in your active translation.
Does it work in parallel view?
Yes. In parallel view (multiple translations stacked), CastReader reads through each translation in turn. Useful for hearing the same verse across formal and dynamic translations side by side.
Does it read the commentaries?
Yes — open a commentary page (e.g., biblehub.com/commentaries/...) and CastReader reads the commentator's note. For pages aggregating multiple commentaries on one verse, it reads them in order.
What about Strong's numbers in interlinear view?
Strong's numbers, parsing tags, and lexicon link text are filtered. The verse text reads cleanly. The numbers stay on screen as references.
Can I listen to a topical study?
Yes — open the topic page (e.g., 'love' on BibleHub's topic index). CastReader reads the topical entries in order.
What about the Septuagint (LXX) and Vulgate pages?
CastReader reads whatever text is rendered. For LXX and Vulgate pages, that's Greek and Latin respectively — set the voice language in CastReader settings to match if you want a fluent reading; otherwise default English voice will pronounce phonetically.
Can I adjust reading speed?
Yes. 0.5x through 3x. For commentary listening, 1.2x–1.5x. For verse-careful reading, 1.0x.
Is it free?
