Just to say that I wandered over to Bits, thanks Daly, and though Topicscape isn’t for me, I’ve been impressed enough by TextAloud, Text-to-Speech software, to get out the credit card - with the discount only $15 or so. Quite a slick application. Good-looking interface. Good intergration via Firefox/IE and global hotkeys.

What impressed me most was its ability to turn text articles into mp3 files quickly. Been dumping them into a folder which syncs with an MP3 player. Plan is to listen at night to stray articles noted during the day rather than read them. Aim is to preserve my eyesight.

Five hours and counting…
