=== Internet === Currently, there are a number of [[application software|applications]], [[Plug-in (computing)|plugins]] and gadgets that can read messages directly from an [[e-mail client]] and web pages from a [[web browser]] or [[Google Toolbar]]. Some specialized software can narrate [[RSS|RSS-feeds]]. On one hand, online RSS-narrators simplify information delivery by allowing users to listen to their favourite news sources and to convert them to [[podcast]]s. On the other hand, on-line RSS-readers are available on almost any personal computer connected to the Internet. Users can download generated audio files to portable devices, e.g. with a help of [[podcast]] receiver, and listen to them while walking, jogging or commuting to work. A growing field in Internet based TTS is web-based [[assistive technology]], e.g. 'Browsealoud' from a UK company and [[Readspeaker]]. It can deliver TTS functionality to anyone (for reasons of accessibility, convenience, entertainment or information) with access to a web browser. The non-profit project [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia/Pediaphon|Pediaphon]] was created in 2006 to provide a similar web-based TTS interface to the Wikipedia.<ref>Andreas Bischoff, [http://www.dr-bischoff.de/research/pdf/bischoff_pediaphon_uwsi2007_final.pdf The Pediaphon β Speech Interface to the free Wikipedia Encyclopedia for Mobile Phones], PDA's and MP3-Players, Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications, Pages: 575β579 {{ISBN|0-7695-2932-1}}, 2007</ref> Other work is being done in the context of the [[W3C]] through the W3C Audio Incubator Group with the involvement of The BBC and Google Inc.
