There are a lot of things which *could* be done with TTS engines but do you know of any mass market TTS app (or reading app) which actually does differentiate between <em> and <i>?

In fact I'd go so far as to say that all the TTS/Voice combos I've ever tried (Windows and Android) appear to ignore all i/em/b/strong tags completely. I wish they did aurally emphasise italic and/or bold text, but they don't. Maybe one day ...
