Title attribute on span tags

for

Does Jaws read the title attribute if it's used on a
span tag? How about Home Page Reader and Windows Eyes?

Example:
<span class="definition" title="tooltip text">sample
phrase</span>

I was planning on using title attribute to show
definitions of words in a tooltip, on mouseover.
Wanted to make sure the major screen readers will read
the contents of the title attribute.

Thanks,
Rachel
