Has anybody heard anything good about the below speech to
text/text to speech product?

More and more of these products, designed for the general public,
and as a supplement to the visual screen output, are showing up
on the market. I'm generally curious as to how useful they are
for those of us who exclusively depend on speech output.

Below, I have provided the URL, and the text from the website.
