Seems like captioning is a huge issue. Isn't there an audio equivalent of a screen reader?

  Not really. I mean, there are such things, but the technology isn't good enough (yet?). Text-to-speech generally works well, it produces good results almost always. If you try hard (or really need to), you can understand even if it tries to "speak" the text assuming the wrong language. Speech-to-text works somewhat well under certain conditions (e.g. known speaker to which the system is adapted, known domain of text, no accents, no background noise, etc), and even then it gets quite a few errors; if you're just running it on random youtube videos, the results often are totally off.
