The Importance of Braille in Literacy
I don't think anyone seriously has said we should replace print with completely with audio books and text to speech. Braille is still very widely used and very important, and will continue to be just as long as print is not obsolete for cited people.

At least 150 of the world's images have Braille systems so you can represent many many languages in Braille.
