Playback uses your phone's built-in text-to-speech, so it plays through whatever audio output is active — including a car's Bluetooth. It's most reliable if this tab stays open. Screen-off playback varies by phone: Android usually keeps going, iPhones sometimes pause it after a while in the background — if that happens, "Keep screen on" above is the workaround for this first version.
