I recently discovered ProNagger, and I am gutted she has my name 
One of her post suggests using a site called Odiogo which is added to your WordPress blog in the form of a plugin in and allows people to listen to your blog rather than read it.

As increasing a blogs acessibility can only be a good thing, I thought I would try it on Birds on the Blog. I know that Birds have deaf readers and readers with physical disabilities, I wasn’t aware of any readers with sight issues but I still thought that I would give Odiogo a try – if it makes things easier for our readers, then it’s worth having.
Firstly, it does sound a little stilted as it’s read, a bit like Stephen Hawkins and it has a male voice. It works by converting the blogs feed to an audio MP3 file, so your blogs become podcasts as well. Secondly, the podcasts are iTunes compatible as well.
So far so good.
It has also highlighted the need for me to tag images in posts correctly – or the reader reads out “our flickr pic 5677889″ instead of “a picture of a cute fluffy kitten”…
Odiogo is currently free, but I would happily pay for a female voice as the majority of my bloggers are female 
Go take a look and let me know what you think or pop on over to Birds and have a listen to one of the blog posts.

PS the plugin is available for some of the major blogging platforms and not just wordpress, I should have mentioned that sooner
