Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm using the 'read aloud' (TTS) feature in the 'Read You' app. However, when I switch to another app, 'Read You' closes, and the reading stops. When I reopen the app, the reading position is lost and it starts over.

Describe the solution you'd like

Optional persistent notification to keep Read You to work in background, so that it's not killed (like media players) Desired to have with media control (play, pause button) like in Google's "Reading mode" app.

I agree about the media controls, and I also suggested in another issue to have skip forwards/backwards, and the ability to start the playback at a certain point by double-clicking on a section of text: https://github.com/ReadYouApp/ReadYou/issues/1186

I support this suggestion; if it's possible to integrate read aloud with Android media controls, adding features like 15-second forward and 15-second rewind similar to blog controls would be great
