As others have said, WCAG and other standards are designed to be technology agnostic. They are functional requirements -- you should be able to do X and Y no matter what assistive technology you are using.

Developers, and others want concrete definitions, you work with this screen reader version, and this browser, and you are done.

Unfortunately the world isn't that simple. In the end you just have to code to the standards and try and stay out of the rabbit hole of screen reader and version, browser and version, OS and version, etc.
