If you download the evaluation version of IBM Home Page Reader (HPR), you
can see which words are being spoken because it shows them in a separate
window and highlights each word as it is spoken using inverse text. There
are some items it doesn't show but does speak, e.g. the contents of the
TITLE tag, but it should give you a better idea what the experience of using
a screen reader is like.
