Maybe I'm confused. Do they usually have Flash installed? I thought that
screen readers would default to whatever is suppose to be replaced with
the Flash when using SWFObject. Maybe it defaults because the Flash
isn't enabled... Though, I guess that could be wrong as well.

JAWS (which has something like 50% market share) has a high level of
JavaScript support and I believe that the other professional screen readers
(WindowEyes and HAL/SuperNova) also do. Free and cheap screen readers
generally don't have JavaScript support.
In our experience screen reader users do not turn off JavaScript. In fact
they tend to use pretty much all software as it comes out of the box without
any customisation. The one exception is Windows itself, where it is
beneficial to enable Classic mode and make a few other adjustments,
especially in Vista.

Mostly empirical evidence, though I've read it in many reliable sources.

Just wondering if this is based on stats or empirical evidence?
