Don't joke, I have a blind relative who's screen reader does just that (simple captchas only).
There are other services like http://www.azavia.com/zcaptcha which is specifically for the blind, but hell its probably cheaper to use the same captcha reading services that the spammers do.

That was not the end of the problem I was referring to. We know our specific captcha is broken at turning away machines. As far as I am

we do not know how many humans are being turned away by the difficulty

it.
It's at least impossible for blind users to solve the captcha, without an audio captcha. (unless they manage to find the toolserver account
creation
thing and enough motivated to do that)
I am not convinced of the benefits of captcha versus other spam filtering techniques.
