Every single comment on this thread was read to me via TTS.
Listening to text gives my eyes the freedom to browse other things...
such as skimming the home page to see if anything new has been posted.

Yeah, there are some words a speech synthesizer will mispronounce.
It is good to sit and read along side it & learn what those words are
that way the next time you hear them you know what it meant to say.
