Cool, I’ll give it a try! OCR for printed stuff, device sync and character voices (for fiction) would be killer.

Seems great, a keyboard shortcut for reading any text is nice and frictionless. I'd love to see a Linux version.

Surprised at how little traction this has gotten here, I reckon I could get a lot of use out of this once the iOS app comes along - Instapaper that I can use while walking the dogs.

It would be nice to have a sample of the audio quality and voice(s) it uses on the website so we know what it will sound like.
-- Edit:
I installed it, ran it and got the first time wizard, granted permissions and hit continue and it just exits without any other message or screen. It isn't in the menu bar. I run it again and get the same. It says the permissions are granted already the second time though.
I like the interface on the website a lot, so I would love to use this. Thoughts?
