    I've been converting text to speech with my Macintosh since the early 1990's
    (except I had cassette tapes back then). It is a wonderful way to have a
    computer voice "read" text to you. I used it when I was commuting long
    distances. I studied text books, earned certifications, and learned new
    subjects while driving long stretches of empty highway.
