No, reading a transcript of a speech isn't listening to the speech.
There is no overlap between aural and visual (visual being ocular and/or touch).

Abelist, much? Why are you trying so hard to police how people with disabilities consume content that they literally cannot every consume by your definition of reading? None of us sighted folks have any business telling those with limited or no sight whether or not they are "reading" a book just because they do it differently than we do.
Also, I don't know why you feel that "touch" as reading qualifies it to be reading more than hearing.
Audiobooks are cheaper to buy than braille books, easier to store, and easier to find. This also ignores those who lose their sight later in life and are too infirm or otherwise incapable of learning how to read braille.
