Swedish firm, Pipebeach is launching a service which allows users to have Web pages read out to them over a mobile phone.

A spokesman for the firm said: "The system takes any existing Web page and converts it to audio - you can interact with it in real time. It can extend the market for any Internet company."

Pipebeach will initially aim the technology at ISPs and mobile operators.
