Doing Chores While Reading Your Favorite Feeds

With News Anchor you can now listen to your favorite news feeds while doing household chores. Its text-to-speech voice frees you up from having to stare at the computer screen to read RSS news.

It seems there are never enough hours in the day to get the things done that you need to, especially when you are working from home.
