"Spoken descriptions" doesn't mean you need to record your own voiceovers for your website - you are misunderstanding the complaint.
Visually handicapped people already use screen readers that will read website aloud to them. The demand here is to ensure websites are compliant enough with basic HTML spec that said screen readers work.
The screen readers I've seen don't do anything crazy - they are even fairly tolerant of bad markup, but they aren't magic. The demand here is for websites to care enough to format properly so screen readers actually work.
