You obviously aren't going to attract analphabetic player, so the question is what percentage of the blind population is excluded, and this may be as high as 75%.

I'm also not certain to what extend a MUD could be improved when it comes to speech to text. It'd be an interesting area of research.

The gap between regular and blind players is pretty vast in my experience, to such an extend that I think a sound only MUD would draw in most blind players, though there is of course only one way to find out for real.
