I have no idea… would like to know too.
I usually just turn off stylesheets and look how my browser renders the raw html, since this is what a screen reader would see.

Here’s a good list of screen readers
I had pretty good luck with Fire Vox , a screen reader for FireFox.

That’s a very good start, but screen readers might interpret tags differently than you’d expect. Especially tabular data, your table might look just fine with the browsers default style sheet but it might not make any sense when read aloud. I think that will be my first lesson; how to mark-up tables properly.
