I know that everyone already knows this, but I think a reminder might be timely: Be careful not to confuse screen readers, who's job it is to read what is displayed on the screen, with a voice browser, who's job it is to parse a HTML document into a DOM tree and apply media-less and aural CSS (and potentially never display anything on screen). visibility: hidden and display: none should both hide content from screen readers. ?
