How it would be read, by a screen reader depends on the screen reader, specific settings in the screen reader in some instances, and whether or not it is lower case, upper case, or mixed case.
In general, context gives us the clues we need to figure it out.

But Jared, if I use "IV" to mean Roman Numeral 4, it is typed on the keyboard with the letters "I" and "V". Isn't it read as that?
