Brilliant. obviously, they'll work with your screen reader. If you want to turn documents into audio with them, Balabolka will provide you m4b's for apple or mp3's for other platforms, all with imbedded text/lyrics. Source: over 1 year ago

There's dozens of tools out there for this these days. I'd recommend sonix.ai they give you 30 minutes free. Source: 11 months ago

Do you have a budget? If so, there's this tool I've worked with called Sonix that generates transcripts of what you feed into it. It's not super accurate, but it's good enough.

Sonix was the one I used because it had 30 free minutes and the video was only 10-11 minutes long. It seems to have done a really decent job, but not sure if that's because the source audio is pretty clear. Source: over 1 year ago

I am struggling with this as well, but one good tool for me has been sonix.ai, which can transcribe pretty well (posted a little while ago about it). Source: about 2 years ago
