First, scanners and ocr programs don't produce audible text. They produce text 
in some format, such as rtf, or txt or arc or whatever else. But it is, plain 
and simply text with no audible component. The audible part 
comes in when you play this  document through a speech synthesizer, such as the 
keynote speech, or a text to speech engine, such as Eloquence. If you were to 
download a file from Bookshare and open it in some 
program that then let you make mp3 files from the document, and if those mp3 
files conformed to whatever the Braillenote/Voicenote need to see in order for 
the files to play successfully on the device, then yes, you 
could do as you suggest. But why do that? Unless you particularly like the 
sound of a particular speech engine over Keynote? The mp3 file which results 
from a given text file will be a whole lot larger than the original 
file, thus allowing you to store far fewer documents on your bn/vn.
