I made a spoken version of the Wikipedia article for Folding@home, which is linked below. You'll notice the sound icon on the top right of the article, where you can listen along. If anyone is interested, you can listen and read the article and let me know if you have any feedback for the audio file or the article itself.

Well done, I'm sure this will be highly appreciated by people with disabilities and not only - much better than text-to-speech.

This is really fantastic. Your calm, slow, and thorough reading should be very beneficial to those that need the article in spoken form.
Thanks for the hard work!

Thanks for the praise! I'm glad you two like it. As Jesse V. said, I did try to go slow as Wikipedia advises readers to read 25% slower than normal, and this helps those with disabilities or limited English proficiency, especially since the article contains some big words.
