Text reading on the Mac is easy.  In version 9.x and up of the operating
system, SimpleText has reading built in.  Microsoft Word has a speak
feature on the CD that will allow you to read any and all of a Word
document as well.  If you want reading in other programs, then you might
have to go to outside products.
