--- Comment #5 from Peter Franke <peterfranke325 at gmail.com> ---
I have contacted the developer of the "Read Text" extension and am waiting for
an answer.

I do not share the assessment that the daisy function would force blind people
into an isolated ghetto. Many libraries for the blind offer books in daisy
format and many blind and visually impaired people have daisy players. However,
I would be interested to know if the epub extension of LibreOffice offers the
same possibilities to produce structured audio books as daisy does. The problem
with a pure audio export is that the structural elements - such as headings -
are lost and you can't target them specifically in the audio file. Especially
the possibility to have structured texts read aloud is a big advantage of the
daisy format.
