I love Speechify. It's not super cheap for the Premium version but the voices are great and well worth the $100-something it costs for a year's subscription.

My mind wanders and there are so many other distractions in my house most of the time. Do you use other sites with videos to supplement your learning? I was thinking of looking in to auditing some of the MOOC courses with the same subject matter for the videos. I tried a few of those text to speech apps, but they are VERY flawed.
Have you seen Khan Academy? They don't cover every single subject but they do cover a lot of them and their videos tend to be pretty good.
