If you listen to the files on the computer with ears, your eyes are protected. There are softwares that can read. The Mircosoft's narrator and panopreter are popular freewares that read files. They Must work together with TTS voice engines.
Microsoft Text-To-Speech(TTS) voice engine has been installed by default on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, you can find what voice engines have been installed on the computer by following Control Panel->Speech->Speech Properties->Text To Speech tab->Voice selection drop down window. For example, the voice of Microsoft Sam has been installed by default on Windows XP, and Microsoft Anna on Vista, and the voice of Microsoft Anna is of good quality.
