I like this idea. but really, what's to stop any of us from reading our stories in a modulated voice, with all the appropriate intonations and providing a link at the bottom of the story?

This would be an alternate mode of listeing which might prove to be extremely popular.

The whole robo-voice thing displeases me. I despise all the stupid voices that come with the various home control devices. I frequently swear at them, and they frequently talk back.
