Hi, Sort of. In Google Chrome, there is n extension that Google has designed called ChromeVox that works more or less as a screenreader. It only works within the HTML area of Chrome though and does not access the MacOS menu items nor the ToolBars and such. ChromeVox is a part of the Chrome OS and works on Macs, Windows and on their own ChromeBooks. In various situations, ChromeVox handles certain HTML elements better than VO with Safari but not always. It is especially useful if you are a Google Apps user.
HTH. Later...
