Unfortunately, what you need to do is test them on a range of screen readers, or simply pick the one that has all the failings available in screen readers that are used. Unless you are prepared to buy the same screen reader for everyone out there trying to use the content... Windows 2000 and MacOS since version 7.5 or so have basic screen readers built in, and I saw an announcement for a shareware or free screenreader for Macintosh (basically enhancing the functionality to something like the expensive products people need to do a job). There are also several free screenreaders available for linux - the most famous is probably emacspeak, but since that is also one of the best audio interfaces available for any system it doesn't meet the criteria of taking account of limitations people have to work with.
