Many of the bigger sites (eg. Paypal) offer audio versions of the images, but these we're beyond our resources last time we investigated.
The reason I'm concerned about this is that we now have SPI acting as a legal entity for our funds etc, meaning there's something to be prosecuted for non-compliance with legislation. This has already happened in at least one case when a US based training firm were taken to court in the UK for failing to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act.
