Hi their.  Well, first of all, let me point out that tis not a "screen 
reader" per se. Rather, its an API which applications can talk too, and 
when developed with it, can speak correctly.  Anyways, to answer your 
question, its in beta testing phase.  Aple should have concentrated their 
efforts on making Gnopernicus more stable.  Or in other words, contributed 
to the development of Gnopernicus, which is promissing.  So far, we don't 
have access to Mozilla directly.  We do have access to it through 
Freedombox, but that's what's being exposed through what objects that Matt 
decided to expose.  Anyways, I have no idea of how accessible MacOSX will 
be.  Speaking of which, anyone care to donate a Mac so I can test this on? 
B/c at present, I don't have access to any Macintosh machines.  Travis 
Siegel offered to port Speakup to Apple a while back, but as far as I 
know, their hasn't been any response on their prt on how they would like 
to proceed.  So IMHO everything's still up in the air actually.  Hope this 
hlps and itsn't too confusing.

Tiger with voice over is in development and is due to be released some 
time next year.
