Don't know. I wasn't aware that there was anything a site could do short of providing actual recordings that would provide this functionality, so when it was mentioned I wondered how it was done. (I'm a web programmer interested in accessibilty, but not really an expert on it.)

It does look like BrowseAloud can do something like this. Are there other similar solutions?
