Let's not forget to include persons with other disabilities and users of other assistive technology, such as speech-to-text/speech recognition software. Testing for ScreenReader compatibility and providing user guidance for such doesn't do anything to help those who use, for example, Dragon NaturallySpeaking (and I suspect that the user populations are fairly comparable - persons with vision impairments and persons with dexterity or upper limb impairments).

Latest I've read about (not had chance to thoroughly test myself) was https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/09/25/accessibility-towards-a-more-inclusive-web-with-microsoft-edge-and-windows-10/
However, the upcoming summer update should include a series of improvements to both Microsoft Edge's accessibility support, as well as Narrator.
