Question Calibre ebook-viewer support for NVDA / text-to-speech & assistive software

Hi,

Apologies if this has already been discussed (I couldn't find anything immediately obviously following a quick search), but I'm trying to confirm if there are any plans to add support for text-to-speech readers (e.g. NVDA, JAWS, Dolphin Supernova) on Windows for the ebook-viewer application within Calibre.

I know that the main Calibre application was updated last year, and I can now use that succesfully with NVDA and hear the names of the ebooks in my library etc read aloud.

However when I open an ebook (in EPUB format, not tried other formats), the ebook-viewer doesn't seem to support any kind of integration for the text in the body of the book.

At the moment I am resorting to using EPUB Reader extension in Firefox for this functionality, but would prefer to use the Calibre ebook-viewer if possible!

Any information would be very appreciated
