I'm not disabled myself, but I do see the benefits in such a venture, and assuming
there is text-to-speech program with a MediaWiki friendly API (or at least can hook into
MediaWiki fairly well) that could be used as a backend, I would think this would not only
be possible, but a great idea.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Text-to-speech extension?
Hello, and thank you for your work,
I was looking at the Librivox project today and I thought that it'd be
great to have voice support in Mediawiki, to aid people with sight
impairments or disabilities.
So I was wondering whether there is a text-to-speech extension for
Mediawiki, or if there could be some other means of offering wiki pages
in audio form.
Thanks for your time as well,
Ilias K.
