FoxVox - text to speech

Don’t Read Webpages, Listen To Them With FoxVox, by Ryan Dube, Make Use Of (Apr 13)

Here's a terrific plugin for Firefox - FoxVox - reads web pages to you. Great for people with sight impairment, and for anyone who can multiprocess - listen while working.

For example - "I find that while I could never concentrate on writing an article while my Google Reader articles are being read aloud to me, there are actually a number of activities where having a digitized voice read articles aloud doesn’t hamper concentration at all. A few examples include IM chatting, conducting Internet research, shopping on eBay or Amazon or shopping for music."
