Question on eyetracking and screenreader

Dear list,

last week I attended a conferece and listened to a presentation on using
eyetracking for usability evaluation, creating heat maps and similar
data on what the user looks at. Now I thought about if there is
something similar available for people who use a screenreader. Is it
possible to track and trace what a screenreader user reads and where
he/she navigates to? Does it make sense from your point of view? I could
think about usability evaluations where you track what the people
navigate to, how they explore a website they don't know yet. It would be
interesting to do this otherwise than using methods like think-aloud.

Regards

Björn
