Read-Aloud for Hebrew/Greek

I am so glad to see you are bringing the read-aloud feature to the mobile app. Thank you!
Is there any way you could get the system to actually pronounce Hebrew/Greek words when they appear? Any pronunciation at all would be better than what it currently does.
As a Seminary student, I have to read tons of scholarly resources that utilize the original languages. It is incredibly frustrating when read-aloud is constantly grinding to a halt to name every single character: "Hebrew letter aleph... Hebrew letter lamed... Hebrew letter vav... Hebrew letter hey..." etc.
Good grief, LOL!
I only ask this because I know from experience that the Google Books app, for example, can read Greek words out-loud from a grammar just fine. It's modern pronunciation, not academic, but I don't care. It's so much better, and it saves time.

I would like to see the ability to pause R-A in Windows. It always jumps back to the start of a section rather than where I left off reading. And it would really be great if it would read Koine Greek and Hebrew. Thank you.0

This has been fixed on Mac with the 13.1 MacOS update. You can now use Siri voices to read, and they do not spell out Greek and Hebrew words.0
