Raghavendra,

I can imagine a user who uses something like ZoomText Magnifier/Reader or Fusion with the screen magnified and making use of text to speech simultaneously as a likely user experience.

Are you saying that you're just testing these separately to first, see if upon being zoomed the reflow is working properly. And they testing the screen reader experience but not both at the same time? Or did you encounter an issue while zoomed in that the screen reading function failed?

I test each separately myself I must admit and have assume that the zoomed and properly reflowing content would also work correctly with a screen reader.
