Not true in my case: reading unfamiliar information is no slower than reading
familiar information.

Reading mathematics in audio is painfully difficult, to return to the topic of
the mailing list, and there are other cognitive advantages to reading braille,
just as there are cognitive advantages to reading print rather than listening
to audio for sighted people.

Since this is straying off-topic for the list, I'm not going to participate
any further in this line of discussion here.
