If you tell us what are the possible ways to autodetect screen
readers, it's possible that we will teach Emacs to turn that option on
automatically when a screen reader is active.
Please note that to do the right thing, it is not enough to detect
that a screen reader is installed: Emacs should find out whether it is
actually active for the current user.
TIA
