hey I just realized in acrobat pdf's you can go to view->read out loud-> activate read out loud.
then have it read the page or the whole document. stuff like this is online but maybe you guys can come up with some weird shit doing this within acrobat

Re: cool trick with pdf's
speech synthesis is really cool, I like the windows xp default synthezizer but Im on the linux, so i havnt explorered much into what it has to offer, but i was reading how you can do this with CSS for web design, its called the aural speech module, its to accomidate visually impared people help read websites, but you can hack it to make cool speech synth, if you know basic css this should be easy, sorry for drifting into other dimensions
