This is a good start. We shouldn't say "comparable to a screen reader"
though. That is a very high bar - including being able to get summaries of
pages, link lists, and much more that you wouldn't get on a kiosk (and most
people wouldn't know how to use (unless they used a screen reader and it
operated exactly the same way as the KIOSK and had the same keyboard layout
etc.
Or did you mean - comparable to sighted users. hmmmm. That might work.
Something like
If AT for screen reading cannot be used, the product must provide access
to all functions through speech output in a manner that is comparable to
users without disabilities.
