ZoomText is not a screen reader, and as there questions and answers state, they have no interest in making a screen reader for the Mac.
AI squared only makes products for low vision users. Their Windows products include some text to speech features, but, no matter what, you need some vision to navigate. although Voice Over is fantastic, Apple has not done a very good job on Screen magnification software. Therefore, I believe there is a definite void for third party developers to fill.
