I don't know that much offhand. However, with web pages, one of the
simpler ways of testing compatibility with screen-readers is using lynx to
view the file; I'd think that using one of the pdf-to-text converters on
the pdf file would do about the same for .pdf files. It's not a perfect
test by any means, but it's a good first start.
Given that the TeX->PDF->text pathway is often recommended for getting text
out of TeX documents, I suspect it's likely to be reasonably ok.
