Current Macs (Tiger and Leopard) should come with "VoiceOver" already installed on them.

  "VoiceOver reads aloud the contents of files including
  web pages, Mail messages and word processing files,
  provides a comprehensive audible description of your
  workspace and includes a rich set of keyboard commands
  that allow you to navigate the Mac OS X interface and
  interact with application and system controls."

HTH,
