Screen readers such as JAWS and Window Eyes are not browsers. They rely
upon browsers such as IE or Netscape to access the content. Thus, when a
JAWS user access a web site with IE, the web site will register the user
as an IE user, not a JAWS user. Even Home Page Reader, which has its own
interface, uses IE, and does not, as far as I'm aware, broadcast itself
as an assistive technology.
*Some people on this list have been active in the area of user agent
capabilities and profiles, and I'm hoping they'll chime in here with
more details.
But, as far as I'm aware, it can't be done.
