Have you tried text to speech software? There is a free version produced by NaturalSoft called Natural Reader ( http://www.naturalreaders.com/ ). It highlights text as it reads it and you can adjust the speed at which it reads. It works in most Windows programs including PowerPoint. it may not have a bouncing ball but it might be what you're asking for.
