What is the best technology available for students to use while researching on the internet when they can’t read the articles they find. I am not looking for something as elaborate as Kurzweil - I want it to basically read to them while they research on the internet.

What you are looking for is a speech synthesis program, which is a category of software or hardware that converts text to artificial speech. Kurzweil actually provides a variety of programs, some more complex than others. There are also several other companies that provide similar products.
