Uh, what ever happened to using a reader? MOst readers can read 
any print/font size and unless they've had a few too many 
generally don't mess their speech up (grin).
But, as I've said elsewhere, we, the blind, seem slowly but 
inexorably to be forgetting that readers constitute a wonderfully 
viable tool for getting material read.
