You would really have to try it and see. Because there is such a range of variations , in builds and access permissions etc , even a system that is known to work with readers may fail to work 'this time 'depending on the PC.
While as far as I am aware Flash is not intended to allow screen readers.
The problem is one of how information is encoded , there is lot that happens behind the screen that we don't see , effects which systems 'talk' others and which do not.

A colleague has asked the following:
"I wonder if anyone has found any computer reader software which works with AAT exams.
Their reasonable adjustments document acknowledges that there is a problem with some software. https://www.aat.org.uk/prod/s3fs-public/assets/Guidance_on_application_of_RASC_in_AAT_assessments.pdf
Section 5.3.7.2 states "Speech / Screen reading software and Speech recognition software AAT’s existing assessment content is built in Flash and is therefore not fully compatible with the main readers, such as Job Access With Speech (JAWS). The use of a Reader should be considered in replacement of screen-reading software. The use of assistive technology with third-party software used for AAT assessments may be possible and should be investigated by the Assessment Centre to see what is compatible without unfairly advantaging the student. "
But they don't state what might work. At work, we have tried ClaroRead but that doesn't seem to work either."
Has anyone got any suggestions - other that to use an human reader?
