We are interested in building a screenreader app for Android smartphones
that would be operated by voice commands. We have the programming
resources, but we need a better understanding of the market before
launching the effort.
Anyone who knows of such an effort, past or present, we would like to
hear from you.
Next, we would like to retain a blind consultant on a task basis to help
us understand some usability issues. Ideal would be a blind smartphone
user who supports other blind users with training and consulting
regarding such assistive technology.
Cheers,

Hi Peter,
Google's TalkBack responds to Voice Commands. https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/10449331?hl=en
I don't think I have ever heard of another Screen Reader that is widely used on Android (with exceptions for custom versions of Android like Samsung and Amazon on their custom Android OSes)
Thankx,

There is a menuing system/launcher for android that is self voicing and from which you can do much. I think it is called vox-talk or something like that.
