I will amend Lucy's comment slightly.:

Jaws can query the status of the current character (probably NVDA &
Voiceover can also, though I can't test them now). JawsKey+F tells
you the font, plus any emphasis info. So *if* you think "Hey this is
a short paragraph. I wonder if it's a bolded heading?", you have a
way to find out. But you will *not* be told about it by default.
