    Not sure if im in the right section.
    Can anyone recommend an app for my phone (android) for reading/playing a book/pdf while driving in my vehicle?
    I need to be able to control the settings to ignore punctuation and stuff.
    I had a app before but it read the punctuation.
    Example
    (First do this then do that)
    *first do this

    The app would read "parenthesis first do this then do that parenthesis "
    "Bullet point first do this"

    It was highly annoying when trying to study/memorize the material

    Edit, i may not have described this correctly, it needs to do text to speech, so it reads a book on my phone and i can play it over my vehicle speakers
    Now i cant even find the one i used to have from google play.

    I'd be curious as to what you find. At least I thought this just an app to listen to audio books but i am not familiar with anything that does this. I had heard google was working on something to do just that but it wasn't ready for prime time.
