Hi list,

On a page I use hovering to display additional informations.

AFAIK almost all screen readers do not read a text, that is
declared as "display:none", and only one or two are reading
"visibility:hidden".

Is there a way to say a screen reader to read non-visual text?

Today's screen readers ignore both display:none and visibility:hidden. The only way they will speak text is to be able to find it. There are several methods that work well. (1) See my WIKI article about screen readers (2). I will be revising the results information on that page shortly as a result of more extensive testing on my accessibility blog (3).
