I have an hour drive to work and back three days a week. Thinking it could help me to listen to screenplays read aloud while en route. Really at the beginning of digging research-wise on this topic. Would rather not have to pay for audible (also not sure if that’s the best resource for this). Perhaps I could format my iphone in a way. Or there’s an app or website that does this I don’t know of. Thank you for any suggestions?

readthrough.com reads screenplays that are in pdf format. It will also give different voices per character.
Thanks, Craig D Griffiths.

Interesting Craig D Griffiths I've never heard of that before. Is it only for screenplays or is it a general AI audio tool? I don't know how tech savvy you are David, but if you are interested in TV scripts there are often actual table reads you can find online, YouTube for example, and you could listen to the audio. (Sometimes films too.)

Niki H it is a free tool offered by WriterDuet. I am guessing you could use it to read other PDFs. But it understand the screenplay format, assigns voices to characters, which you change, as well as reads action in a narrators voice different to any character. It is very cool.
You can also use it to collect notes and comments, So it is a great edit tool as well.
It is a great way of having a “kind of” table read before you drag in humans.

Or you could always play a movie or TV show on your phone through your car speakers and listen to the dialogue.
