As far as I am aware, there is no legal or standard that states what screen reader or what number of screen readers or what versions you have to support. You have to consider your customers user base if you know it and should be a company policy. Also when testing web sites, using a single screen reader like VoiceOver for example. If a window screen reader user comes along, the site might not work correctly. AS the screen reader technology will work differently. From a QA point of view, this should be taking into account.
There are organisations which state what screen readers they have test their web sites against. In other words, the screen reader and web browser combination they support.

Subject: [WebAIM] Screen reader support
Hi All,
Is there any official statement or document which states that you should support maximum or the least one screen reader?
I went through the W3 articles, however could not find any such artefact validating the matter.
While it is wise to cover as much screen reader support as possible, even if you support one, you would not attract any litigation.
Can anyone help me in finding any evidence for the above statement?
