While human read articles are great they quickly become out of date and are available for only a fraction of our articles.
Why don't we have a "Listen" button beside our read button that when clicked will read the article for the person in question? There are 37 open source text-to-speech listed here http://www.findbestopensource.com/tagged/text-to-speech. Some of them support up to 50 languages. This of course would require the support of the Wikimedia Foundation. I guess we could also do it with a gadget initially.
