For screen readers, I'd suggest, Jaws, Windoweyes and one open source (NVDA).

I should explain a little bit more. Looking around I found a variety of screen readers, text browsers and some other freeware or demo tools. But at an industry standard there must be a list of the most common ones. As for screen readers I would guess JAWS is the most common one. I hope this gave more help to my question.
