This would be great if you could use this to read ebooks, for people who don't want to strain their eyes, or are unable to see. Like a free and open source alternative to natural reader (Which is very expensive).

Plus, you could use it to have a book read to you in the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger. ;-)

I love that idea. I think there are some existing Open Source tools to convert ebook between formats. Maybe they could be used to extract the text for running the TTS?
