I am coming in late to this discussion but we have made a cross browser toolbar that offers very basic TTS (Festival Scottish voice at the moment) for those with dyslexia (LD and other difficulties). It has several supporting features including the chance to change the size of text, colours, text type, spell check, dictionary etc. It does not have high quality voices or text highlighting as the voice reads aloud. However, it is free and open source - we want to develop it further but please feel free to try it. It is also linked to the Fix the Web service. http://access.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ToolBar/download or http://www.fixtheweb.net/toolbar

There is also a Moodle version http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&;rid=2510


Best wishes E.A.
