Thanks everyone for your replies. Thanks also George for your reply on your
experience of reading long passages of text on the web. I'll check out the
links everyone has suggested.

Other than BrowseAloud, ReadSpeaker (http://www.readspeaker.com/) also
offers this service, they include a demo on their site.

Thanks again,
Mary

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?
