As Tomasz and Dariusz wrote, while visually impaired people have their solutions, other users might want to use Wikipedia etc. as an audible source, even as podcasts (because they prefer learning while listening, they are on the go etc.). I guess as well that mobile platforms bring some use cases here (and I don't know if the solutions used by impaired people are so useful on, say, iPad or Android phone, especially in less popular languages).
Some completely other yet connected thing is assistance for impaired to actually edit. Recently I have been approached by a person born blind who reads content from MediaWiki but had it difficult to actually contribute (while they wished to).

hi,
while this proposal will not add value for the blind, most likely (they surely have their preferred solutions
already), it may be useful for those who do not have time to look for audio output, but would appreciate it if
it was available straightaway. I think there is some benefit in that, clearly.
best,
