Interaction with screen readers and other assistive technology? #111

Has there any research been done on how the TTS portion of the API interacts with screen readers and other forms of assistive technology?

There is no relationship. The TTS interface of the API produces synthetic speech in the browser, a screen reader uses specific installed TTS engines to produce synthetic speech at the OS level/application level. A screen reader won't respond to anything created using the API.
