When I was a postgraduate in 1989, we had a scheme to support blind members of the university. I spent an evening a week reading law journal articles onto tape, together with a team of other volunteers. (I rather liked the criminal law, but the module on tort was rather dull.)
Then the university acquired a Kurzweil reader which scanned and produced text-to-speech, which could be recorded onto tape.
This technology has made great strides in the last decade.
