It's not important since text to speech sounds like a robot. I wouldn't want to listen to a computer reading a text. I wouldn't even want to listen to a human reading a text unless they are a professional narrator with crystal clear voice and precise diction.

However, I think it should be made available to those who need it. The feature would be very beneficial to the blinds especially if the audio book version is not available.
