Audible will not, since it's strictly a narration service. NLS will at least 
spell the names of authors. As for Bookshare, which is a text-only service, I 
have a feeling the use of accents will vary.

I am in the same place as Justin, I read non-fiction where I may need to learn 
how to spell proper nouns or Spanish texts where I need to see accent marks.  
Will either of these do that?

But, how good is the control.  The books I get are mostly nonfiction, and I've 
got to go back and forth to look at stuff.

        I'd like to add that the experience is significantly different between 
the books from Audible and Bookshare. Bookshare books which for most part need 
your native device TTS robot to read can be far less relaxing and pleasurable 
to listen to than Audible where most if not all books are recorded by real live 
human voice actors. I tried to read novels and books from Bookshare using my 
devices TTS and just did not enjoy the experience at all. The same books for 
example, from Audible, or any other from Audible on the other  hand is far more 
relaxing and pleasurable as you are listening to a live real human being who 
has all these speech inflections that a robot TTS however advanced our current 
TS voices may be, just do not match.
Pl do consider this factor  in your book purchase decision.
