I've already said - he could use a program like "Dragon Dictate" or "Naturally Speaking" but:
1. They are not cheap. They cost MUCH more than the audiobook cost.
2. Speech recognition is nowhere near as reliable as OCR.
3. There are companies who will scan a book for you at a pretty modest cost. See, for example,
