Headphone and car buttons: hands-free

Android · iPhone · quillo.trUpdated:

Where: The media buttons on your headphones or in your car while a document is being read; no need to touch the screen.

The headphone button and the play/pause, next and previous buttons on the steering wheel or a Bluetooth music system control . Next and previous skip by chapter, not by sentence: chapters come from the PDF's contents, otherwise from headings, otherwise from the tops of pages.

  1. 1Single press: play / pause.
  2. 2Double press (or the car's "next track" button): goes to the start of the next chapter.
  3. 3Triple press (or "previous track"): goes back to the start of the chapter; if already at the start, to the previous chapter.

The media card on the car screen shows the document name, the page and "Chapter 3 / 12". The Previous / Next buttons in the notification still skip by sentence.

Tip: Reading pauses when you take the headphones off; put them back and a single press continues where you left off.
Web (quillo.tr): If the browser supports media keys (Chrome, Edge), headphone and keyboard media keys work the same way.
Coming soon: showing up as a media app on the Android Auto screen.
