Tools like ANDI can't fully determine whether a screen reader will properly read the content of a web page. They can do some tests, but not enough to be useful, so I would not use such tools for that. You really have to test with the screen readers because they all behave differently.

Hello everyone,
What do you look for within the ANDI tool to determine if a screen reader will properly read the content of a web page?
Structures > Reading order should mark everything correctly and in sequential order, correct?

Claire,
I'd use both ANDI and manually testing with a screen reader like NVDA.
With ANDI I'd use Focusable Elements and navigate through all items to see what it reveals. Then I'd use the graphics/images tool then the links/buttons tool, structures, the tables tools (if any were present), and test iframes if those were present. Each of the ANDI components is best utilized with the huge/long PDF they have that has you check against the WCAG success criteria, which I believe is still only using the 2.0 AA level.
Having gone through the Trusted Tester certification process I value what the ANDI tool can do but like Steve said, you'd still need to try out things with a screen reader.
