Documentation video for svn-git

[jamesmikedupont]

I have created a computer reading of Sam's svn-git text :

http://www.archive.org/details/SvnGitVideo

It runs 1.5 hours.

I can also do other texts, also the source is checked in to create
them yourselves.

I'm definite fan free software text-to-speech software. (I know espeak when 
I hear it!). But I have to ask: besides being a cool technology demo, what 
is the use case for this? How is this better/different than, for instance, 
just using a screen-reader on-the-fly?

The purpose is that it will reach more people on youtube,
and people who are lazy can just listen to the video
and not everyone has screen reader software available to them at all times.
I learn alot listening to espeak...

Fair enough. I just wasn't sure if I was missing a huge use case here. =)
