It would be wonderful if Pratico & Van Pelt's "Vocabulary Guide to Biblical Hebrew" was tagged so that it would work with the new Hebrew Audio Pronunciation product. It would be very nice to just click on a Hebrew word from the resource and hear what it sounds like. (Actually, that would also be nice for the Bibles like LHI. As it is you have to pop up info on the word and then hit "Pronunciation. Several steps involved.) If that isn't possible, it would be nice to at least be able to make a Word List of desired words to hear what they sound like and make flashcards. The Mac version of the Pratico resource has a bug so that you can't select just a few words to make a Word List. You get almost 200 words at a time. And then if you make a Word List Document of the clipboard you also get all the English definitions, etc. It should be able to generate audio for all the Hebrew (which it doesn't) and also make FlashCards for study on mobile devices. I put something about this on the http://logos.uservoice.com site on Sept 1, 2014. Logos tech support said they would work on the problem if enough people voted for it. So, if you want to make learning Hebrew a whole lot easier, go there and vote!
