[senit] Online screenreader

Yep think that's the idea - the platform and browser independence is what it has over other free online apps such as SAToGo www.satogo.com which doesn't download an .exe file and only works in ie.

It seems it converts to text on the server and sends the audio to the
browser which will work on most sytems but will cause them scalability
problems if there are many users.
