[Athen] screen reader

[rmhaven at stanford.edu]

I'll second (third, fourth, fifth) the previous accolades about  
GhostReader.  It only does a few things (read aloud with  
human-sounding voices, highlight while reading, and convert to MP3)  
but does them very well.  Several Stanford students use it.  I even  
relied on its earlier incarnation (TextParrot) for quick-and-dirty  
augmentative communication when my mouth was wired shut because of a  
jaw fracture back in 2006.  (People came to know me as "Hi, I'm  
Heather, the female American English speech synthesis voice from  
Acapela...".)
