Shane, If you are slightly sighted, then you may want to consider KDE. Almost all KDE applications have integrated text-to-speech functions. You only need to install festival and KDE takes care of the integration. You will then have a speech-enabled GUI environment, including web browser. I use it extensively.
As the OP is using text-to-speech equipment, I am top-posting. Please excuse me, and see my sig for why not to top-post.
