[Bug] "Speak Selection" iOS Accessibility feature does not work

[marcommobile]

Describe the bug

After enabling Speak Selection in Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content, the “Speak” option appears in the popup when selecting text in Readium Reader v2.7.3 (please refer to the attached screenshot). However, when tapping on it, there’s no sound. When doing the same in Safari or Chrome, the selected text is pronounced as expected.

How to reproduce?

1. Enable Speak Selection in Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content.
2. Open any book in the Readium Test App.
3. Select text and look for the “Speak” option in the popup (you may need to tap the “>” button on the far right of the popup to see the “Speak” option).
4. Tap on the “Speak” option.

Expected result: The popup is dismissed, and iOS starts pronouncing the text.

Actual result: The popup is dismissed, but nothing happens.
