I'm just wondering? But, does Wizard ever print thier books in brail? I'm sure there are a few blind players out there and such? This is just a random thought brought up by all the Zatoichi type characters.

Publishing companies don't print their books in braille. They may, however, license someone else to transcribe their books into braille. I doubt many braille companies are banging on WotC's door begging to be allowed to do so.

This is an easy one boy...

Look for the SRD

Look for an text to speech software
(Just like this)

If you want to go even further, you could be cleaver enough to export each chapter into an mp3, burn it, and voilá, your very own Audio-Book...

Also it can be possible to write down tables and other important stuff in a little braille typewriter for our pal...

Yes, it surely won't work for all the text in the books, but is better than nothing, also, I do not think our pal will be alone on the table, I am sure, the other players and the DM will be eager to help:)
