"Potter said that she recorded her voice for ReadSpeaker in 2021, and was told it would be used for accessibility and e-learning software. She has been in legal disputes with the company for two years after she discovered the Iona product was being marketed “for much wider purposes” on ReadSpeaker’s website." Whatever she was 'told', surely this matter lies within her contract with ReadSpeaker? If the contract specifically limited her voice's use to accessibility and e-learning software, then she has a case. If not, then... I don't know, I'm not a contract lawyer so maybe I'm being a bit simplistic here.
