Question: Audiobook voice control on Android?
Is anyone aware of an Android audiobook player app that accepts voice control?

I am currently using SmartAudioBook Player. If I turn on the "Android Auto" app, I can use a voice command to have it make SmartAudioBook Player start playing my audiobook. But I can't pause or stop it via voice, or ask it to rewind a few seconds to play back something that I missed. I don't know if that is because what I want to do is not supported, or because I am not speaking my voice commands correctly. I haven't found any documentation on what words to say, so I'm just guessing - not a very accurate way to stumble into the correct voice commands, I'll admit. "Hey Google, stop", "Hey Google, pause", "Hey Google, rewind 10 seconds" ... none of these work for me.

Has anyone had better luck with voice-controlled audiobook playback on an Android device? (I'm running Android 9, Pie)
