That blog post is very interesting. I really enjoyed the reading and must admit that I should spend more time on accessibility.

The speed of the screen reader Zersiax uses is unbelievable fast. I can't understand a single word:

Wow! Just, wow! I had skipped hearing the screen reader on my first pass on the article. It is amazing how human audition can parse that speech rate.

If that rate were the norm, I'd be classified as hearing impaired. I can't identify a single word.

Not hearing impaired, just mentally disabled. :)
Listening to that blew my mind to the point where I was convinced the audio wasn't being played through my speakers the way it was intended.
I hear that more often :) It was actually set at a reasonably fast clip in that bit of audio ...like you'd use for a novel. For speedreading I tend to go a bit faster
