I can confirm it works for Windows and Android.
Indeed, running a Calibre Content server and accessing it using Microsoft Edge provides plenty of natural voice options. I wasn't aware of it, thank you. Interestingly, other browsers provide different voice options and they don't have natural voice quality.

A few things I'd like to point out:
- It's not possible to play books outside the home network (unless the server is set up as public)
- Opening a port is a security risk
- The viewer's read-aloud function often stops

So, my wish still stands.
