If you are using a Mac, and you have installed Tiger (OS 10.4) then you 
can use Apple's  built in screen reader - called VoiceOver, quick, and 
easy.  I have not tried it yet myself, but I do know that is is not as 
full featured as JAWS.

"Mac OS X Tiger introduces VoiceOver, an accessibility interface that 
offers you magnification options, keyboard control and spoken English 
descriptions of what’s happening on screen. If you have a visual 
impairment, VoiceOver enables you to work collaboratively with other 
Mac users or work on their computers without assistance."
