To transcribe the book, I wonder if a student needs to complete community
service or, someone at the senior center who wants to support students?

If you will be the transcriber, would suggest using speech to text to
dictate into a talking word document or, (thinking while typing); how about
dictating into Natural Reader (Educational version with good voice options)
and transcribing it into an mp3 file. That would provide two options;
document with voice output and/or mp3 player.
