Or use narrator, which isn't really another 'screen reader'. Couldn't
you use a previous version of JAWS? I could. I have found in the last
few versions that, so long as one doesn't shift-tab over the fields, I
can (by tabbing forward, to the OK button. No need for the Apply
button) successfully add a hot key to the desktop shortcut of the
version of JAWS for which it is to be set.

The JAWS install does not automatically create a shortcut hot key.
The
desktop shortcut is created, but no hot key. You need to do this
yourself as described below. The only thing that I have found is that
if you do this using JAWS, the hot key wil not stick. The only way I
have been able to do this for JAWS is to do it using another screen
reader.

If you installed JAWS from the CD, it is automatically assigned the
shortcut
key Alt-Control-J. If this keystroke combination doesn't work for
you,
you
can create your own JAWS shortcut key by following these steps:
1. Launch the Desktop by pressing Windows key-M.
2. Press J repeatedly until you land on the JAWS icon.
3. Press Alt-Enter to bring up the JAWS Properties page.
4. Tab to the Shortcut key field, and type in the shortcut key
combination
of your choice, like Alt-Control-J or whatever other combination you
prefer.
5. Tab to Apply button, hit Space, then tab around again to the Okay
button
and hit Space. That's it. Now, when you press Alt-Control-J or
whatever
shortcut key you assigned, JAWS will be launched. HTH.

There is no given shortcut key, so you make your own.
