On Android, a browser tab that is no longer on screen can be stopped by the system, and the sound stops in your pocket. That is why the listener page on Android says: keep this screen on, or Android may stop the sound. iPhones keep a playing tab going much more reliably.
- If the listener page shows Get the app, tap the store icon next to it to install.
- Open the app, type the code and press Listen. A shared link can also open straight in the app.
- Pick your language and start, exactly as in the browser.
Headphones or speaker
The app has a Headphones / Speaker switch. It starts on Headphones, so nothing plays out loud by accident. With no headphones connected it stays silent; to play out loud, choose Speaker and confirm with Turn on speaker. A browser cannot do this, so the switch is only in the app, and only on phones that report where the sound goes.
