I use text to speech at work, it helps keep me focused. I also like to use in in the car on long drives, there's not much on the radio and music doesn't keep me focused. It's like if I'm listening to a book, the rest of my brain is freed up to focus on driving. I tend to use it for books that aren't my favorites - good enough for TTS, but perhaps not for actually sitting down to read.
What really interests me about it is how the brain adapts to it.
