Ability to highlight the text word by word when reading via TTS

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

When reading with a TTS (not via the screen reader), Bookworm has the ability to highlight the spoken text. Now however, the highlighting is done on a paragraph level. That means, that the program highlights a whole paragraph and reads it aloud. That makes it somewhat difficult for a partially sighted user like me to track the reading progress, specially if it is in a big paragraph.

Describe the solution you'd like

An option in Bookworm to configure the level of highlighting when reading aloud should fix this. Example levels are: Word, line, sentence, paragraph.

Additional context

I don't know if my suggestion is technically possible at this stage (seams complex even to me (smile)), but I'm making it just in case it is or it becomes possible at a later time.

This is true. Nevertheless, I'll keep it in my to-do list.
