I found this looking for an MP3 download site. Wow is this interesting. I am going to try the embedded text to audio on a couple pages and see how often it gets played.

@Alexander As far as I know, you can upload your sound files to YouTube which will add captions to them automatically, but I have no idea weather the captions can be exported as text or not.
