At the moment I only proofread ePub2 on my Sony T3. Is there text to speech software which will read ePub files? My computer uses Windows 10, and I have an iPad also. Is there android text to speech software? I have a Lenovo tablet.

For reading ePubs, I use Book Bazaar Reader on Win 8.1 and 10. It has a decent text-to-speech option.
I agree that increasing the text display size can help a lot. Also consider increasing the leading (line spacing). This can make a big difference with many fonts. Be sure the font you use has easy to distinguish numerals (no confusion between O and 0, I and 1, ...) and that all punctuation is easy to distinguish.
When proofing OCRed text, you need a font with adequate white space between letters (kerning or letter spacing) so that you can catch when "ri" is replaced with "n", or vice versa, and similar errors. Running a good spell check first will find most, but not all such errors.
