A few days ago Google announced that they begin to experiment with text-to-speech on their “Knol”.

Quote from their site: “We are experimenting with Audio Playback as an option for some knols, starting with a handful of English language featured knols. You can listen using our Flash player, or by downloading an mp3 file and using any mp3 player.”

If a listen-button is shown next to the “print” and “share” button, you know that the Knol is available also as audio.
