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.
