If you often find yourself in the same room as your PC, or more importantly the sound system it is connected to, but not necessarily looking at it’s monitor, you may well find a Text to Speech Software Review of use to you.
The idea is that any text on your PC can be read out to you, at a time of your choosing. I personally use an application from AT&T that is not yet reviewed on the site, thought I am sure they will be adding more reviews as they have the time to assess the pro’s and con’s of each suite.
