s/day/say/

To me a screen reader reads out exactly the displayed text.  It is a
form of assistive technology, but tools like JAWS look at the underlying
document model and render from that.

A screen reader can only honour the visual media type.  More general
AT need not, but probably will, be limited to the visual media type.
