To the best of my knowledge, except for a few single-site-specific apps, there is no general purpose engine like VoiceSee, which allows you to interactively surf any website without using your hands and without using your eyes, by simply adding a small plugin.
The first applications based on the VoiceSee platform are still in early beta and need feedback from real-world users to improve and polish the technology to optimal usability. They can be freely downloaded from Google Play:
Your feedback in this beta stage is much appreciated. In particular:
UPDATE 2012/07/24:
Several key updates have been released in the past 11 days:
================================
Language: English
Devices: Android (version 2.2 and higher)
Software Requirements:
----------------------
Google Voice Search must be installed on the Android phone. Note: most devices are already equipped with Google Voice Search. Otherwise, it can be freely downloaded from Google Play.
To get the maximum effect from VoiceSee's text-to-speech, it is advised to install the Loquendo TTS Susan low cost download from Google Play. Although this isn't mandatory for VoiceSee's full functionality.

UPDATE 2012/07/24:
Several key updates have been released in the past 11 days:
- Double-beep as eyes-free cue for "speak now!"
- Text-to-speech always US English (as long as you uncheck "Always use my settings").
- Timeouts for Google servers taking too long to start listening and recognizing.
- Shorter prompt on Wikipedia's homepage.
- Sadie now says what she didn't understand (i.e. what Google's speech recognizer thought you said).
- Welcome recording no longer played on start (moved to menu).
- Improved tips page.
