If you are using the Chrome web browser, then you get the best 
screen-reader interaction by using ChromeVox, a screen-reader add-on for 
the Chrome web browser.

ChromeVox does a decent job on most web pages and, in particular, on 
Google-based pages (Google Docs, etc.).  You can install ChromeVox from 
the following page:
http://code.google.com/p/google-axs-chrome/

Google has also set up a tutorial for learning how to use ChromeVox to 
interact with Web pages.  ChromeVox is different from Windows-based 
screen-readers.  If anything, it is more closely related to how 
VoiceOver works on a Mac.  The tutorial does a good job at covering how 
to use ChromeVox:

Take care,
