proofTeX - Tools for proofing LaTeX documents

Yes, now you too can experience the joy of proofreading your work by changing the font to Comic Sans and putting it through text-to-speech!

detex.py

Takes a LaTeX document as input and strips LaTeX code in a content-aware manner.

With the --document option, processes the entire file without waiting for a \begin{document} call (useful, for example, if the file is an extract from a larger work).

With the --count option, performs a word count, including text and text-like mathematics, but excluding complex mathematics, figures, footnotes and others.

With the --tts option, outputs text in a format suitable for use with a text-to-speech engine. I use Festival.
