Johny,
Not science fiction at all. There are several ways you could approach
this...
You could use something called a screen reader which translates on
screen content into synthetic speech. Jaws is a screen reader, but it's
probably not quite what you need.
I'd recommend using SA To Go. It's free, available online and you can
use it to access all common programmes in speech including Word. Head to the
following URL to try it out:

A screen reader will speak everything to you though, including menus,
the desktop and the content of the document. Alternatively, you could use an
application that translates the Word doc into speech. There are a few of
them around and I don't have any URLs, but Text 2 Audio is one name off the
top of my head.
Léonie.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Text to speech software
Hello there
I'm wondering if any of you guys have ever come across text to speech
software. I have to edit a book and would like to be able to listen to it
away from the computer. I have a word document of the book. Is there any
thing available which would take the .doc document and turn it into an MP3
file? Reality or sci fi?
Thanks
Johny
