Text to Speech on a Blog

 So I usually don't promote commercial sites, but this one looks interesting and seems to be free for basic use.

The site I came across is http://www.odiogo.com/ and it says it converts text to speech on blogs. I have yet to try this but thought it looked interesting.  I think it could be useful for making blog entries more user friendly for all of our students.  I have a blogging assignment coming up soon and will try it out and post a followup but thought I would put it up here as well.


Info from the site:
