Meanwhile, here's a quickly assembled test epub for testing the features I am intersted in for the book I'm preparing right now:
- images as initials,
- ae- and oe-ligatures,
- words and phrases in French, Italian and German within an English text.
Before going ahead creating mp3 files for more voices, I thought it might be worth giving you a sneak peek at the first one, in case you want to make any epub additions/changes based on results.

The attached is an mp3 file renamed as a .doc because mp3 isn't a supported upload format on MR. The TTS app used was TextAloud 3 running on Windows 10. The voice used was Ivona British English female Amy.

Let me know how you want to proceed.

P.S. Probably not relevant to this current sound testing but, Epubcheck reports a couple of errors in your test epub3
