Have you looked at
www.satogo.com ?
That is a screen reader that is fairly widely used, at least in the
U.S. and you can run it from a web page.
(it is the mobile version of System Access from Serotek .. www.serotek.com).
It is free and you can fire it up from anywhere through satogo.com
without installing it on the computer itself.
