I'd love to see it. Do you have a link? ... Yes, I depend on the human generated audio file over TTS. The synthesized voice is not so great though it's getting better every year. I wanted something similar to Audible's WisperSync (http://www.audible.com/mt/wfs http://www.audible.com/mt/wfs) which uses real voice narrators.

It's just a bookmarklet for Chrome on OSX, using the Alex voice from the operating system. I put inside it a ton of JS, to find text and read it back, while changing the color of words. You can trigger it with clicking on a word. The script would also restyle text so it is easier to read. https://gist.github.com/Visarga/e6597edcb7ec6993521829ef5c1798db https://gist.github.com/Visarga/e6597edcb7ec6993521829ef5c17... The code is uglified for bookmark use, but the original is not something I would be proud to share (it's almost a mess). By the way, I have special treatment for YC, reddit and arXiv. Only the posts are converted into speech, skipping other texts.
