The primary purpose of the script Toggle VF is to create a voice-friendly (VF) version of any Wikipedia article that will be suitable for seamless reading aloud by text-to-speech applications such as "Voice Dream"[1], "Text Aloud"[2], Microsoft's "Narrator", Apple's "VoiceOver", etc. This voice-friendly version is produced by suppressing those parts of a Wikipedia article that cannot be correctly or meaningfully rendered by a text-to-speech application; depending on the article in question, these non-renderable items may include images, tables, in-line references, various templates and user interface elements, as well as metadata.
The Toggle VF display of an article may also be of interest to those users who prefer to read an uncluttered version of Wikipedia articles on the screen.
Toggle VF has been designed so as not to interfere with the normal reading and printing operations of Wikipedia. It will reside 'silently' on your computer and only be activated when you click on either the "Toggle VF" button or the "Printable VF" button.
