When I was an under-grad at U.C.S.D. I saw a program demonstrated that
would print text. One word at a time. In the center of a vdt. At a
constant rate specified by the user. 

The idea was to eliminate altogether the need for eye movements while 
reading. The way I remember it is that there was some increase
in reading speed with no loss of comprehension. Don't remember how much.

The spitting out phrases in the same manner would be an interesting 
experiment.
