Text to speech: annoying or not? Please give your opinion

807605Aug 3 2007 — edited Aug 3 2007
Hi everybody,
I have an application that's sort of a custom e-book renderer that I just finished. I was considering giving it optional text-to-speech capability for accessibility purposes. Thinking about that sort of capability that Adobe Reader has, though (completely monotone and bad pronunciation), I'm not sure if it would be more annoying than helpful. Can anyone give me some opinions on this, maybe pros and cons, or perhaps a good way to implement this, if it's a good idea?

Thanks,
