Audio glossary lost on screen reader users?

for

From: House, Kate

Quick Quicktime question: My company is developing an online textbook in
which one of the features provides the ability for students to hear glossary
terms read aloud, as well as being provided with the definition. The audio
files are accessed via the QuickTime plug-in. With the exception of the
definition that is already provided and using the choice to play the audio
immediately upon opening the window (although this would interfere with the
screen reader if it was still reading the window), am I out of options for
making the audio more accessible to the average screen reader user? I can't
get to the buttons using JAWS...

Many thanks for any advice-
