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.

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.
