I'm not sure if remote access programs (web browser or not) even support screen readers on the client, especially since many of those render the entire desktop server-side and send it back to the client as an image or video. A possible option may be to run the screen reader on the remote desktop itself if that's possible.

But piping accessibility information (in its generic form, not pre-rendered as speech) to the client side in that case is much harder than it would be for this Chromium-based remote browser. (I know this from relevant experience during my time on the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft.)
