As screenreaders work within existing browsers (normally IE) it's very hard to detect them. To detect different browsers you'd use the user agent string, but screenreaders don't have user agent strings of their own. At least that's as far as I (and a few other people [1]) am aware. Maybe one of the accessibility gurus on the list has a magic method to detect of a visitor is using a screenreader?
