Dear Ketan, My phone has Icecreeme Sandwitch, however, I hear, you may upgrade the same to JB if your phone allows to I.E. if the specifications are good enough. Mine are good enough I hear.
All those apps you refered can be used easyly. I also have a Tablet which has IC Android in that I use Talkback. In my phone, I am yet to explore things, as screenreading software is not inbuilt, I need to download first. Will let know when I actually use them and problems faced if any.
