One of the musicians I used to play with was blind. I was looking to see if anyone had done something to make Bitcoin accessible. I don't remember finding anything at the time.

Unfortunately, it seems to still be the case, but have seen some interest and beginning progress in this area. Most designers and devs really want to do the right thing, but just need to be guided on what works best for all users.

She used to communicate digitally through some kind of electronic voice reader. I bet since the explosion in AI this would be a lot better now.

It was probably a screen reader like TalkBack on Android or VoiceOver on iOS.
There are some built-in AI tools that can help with accessibility (can do OCR and guess at unlabelled buttons, images, and content) but at the cost of privacy and reliability.
Ideally, the meaningful text content should be exposed to respective accessibility APIs in a manner that is understandable by the user. This simply means following some guidelines by the W3C to ensure that content is always exposed properly and in the correct reading order.
