I don't know whether you own any Android devices but if so you may like to try the app @Voice Aloud Reader which will read aloud ebooks (epub, pdf, doc, txt, fb2, mobi, prc, azw/azw3), web articles, and other text sources. I've only tried epubs myself, which work very well. There's a free version and a pay-to-remove-Ads version if you decide you like it.
The main thing is that it has a facility to correct pronunciation. I don't know whether it will solve all your personal bugbears but it does seem to have fixed the No./number irritation in Ivona Amy (and other voices) for me.
