The reason why you want the screen reader to speak stuff, apart from any 
considerations like Braille, is that you want to be able to shut it up. 
If the screen reader is doing the speaking, you can hit the control key or 
whatever to stop it.  If the TTS is being used directly, you can't shut it 
up unless the application itself provides a way to do it.
