I don't think he needs to know a screen reader, but he should have a demo to 
work with.
The main thing is that the screen reader intersepts ascii on its way to the 
video card.
So if ascii isn't being sent, it isn't spoken.
2.  The program needs to work from the keyboard.  Turn off the monitor, turn 
on a screen reader and  do everything you design.
3.  Their should be a way for the program to buffer letters and speak them 
as words, when a space is reached.
Those are my thoughts anyway.
Jaws window-eyes nvda, and system access should all work.  taging the 
software to one, especially one expensive screen reader is a bad idea!
