This is very interesting. I have just started working with Greenwich's visually impaired support service and I am sure this will be something that will really interest them.
More generally I am really interested in ways of using audio with students at the moment. I have used Audioboo to good effect but it is only available on the iPhone. Another option is Voccaroo which is incredibly easy to use, but the sound quality is iffy. What are the options for getting audio content onto a blog?
