Abstract

In some examples, a computing device may initiate audible play back of a book in response to an instruction from a user. While the book is being audibly played back, the computing device may determine (e.g., in the background) that a content of a recently played back portion of the book matches one or more interests associated with a user, initiate a search, and receive search results. The computing device may re-rank the search results based on the user's interests, pause play back of the book, and audibly read out the re-ranked search results. If the user asks a question, the computing device may pause play back of the book, perform an additional search, and read out loud the additional search results. The computing device may resume the audible play back of the book after the user provides a resume play back instruction.
