Found this as a possible resource, will investigate further tomorrow to see if it's feasible to implement in time.

2nd option could be running all the text through an open source text-to-speech engine and adding a touch icon to each page that will play the pre-recorded synthesized speech files. If we go this route, I would want to add a toggle to the options page to allow for the speech audio to auto start playing on page load.

Again, all this time permitting.
