Luckily my linux box at work has festival on it. It is pretty easy.

Code:
     PRINTER:TTS:festival --tts %s:80
     DOWNLOADER:TTS:festival --tts %s
The speech is low to medium quality.
p and select TTS . the number 80 is optional but it read the whole file.

The DOWNLOADER reads the html tags to you so it is not needed.

or
Code:
lynx -cfg=lynx.config indexAAA.html | festival --tts
But then I'm lost trying to select the links.
