Request for a screenreader test

A while back, someone posted a link to an article called "The Sound of the
Accessible Title Text Separator". That got me thinking how annoying it must
be to have to listen to "right double angle bracket" and "left double angle
bracket" over and over again.

So I've created a test page that uses CSS to write the characters in. I know
it won't work on Internet Explorer, but I'm wondering if someone who uses
Firefox in conjunction with a screen reader can test this page out and see
if the screenreader still announces the characters:
