I've never tried it, but when I've seen blind people using JAWS, they can understand what's being read to them, while I can't. It's possible that a sound clip was intentionally set up for a person who is used to using a text reader, and so is being played at a much faster speed than a normal conversation. Of course, this doesn't help those people who just have bad vision, that they can normally get by with screen magnification or the like, and can't understand the images.

I think the following link takes you to the video example that I saw in a 508 class last year. (I don't have Real installed, so I can't check it.). If it is, it shows what it's like for people visiting websites with screen readers and the like: Web Accessibility From the User's Perspective

Update: I tracked down my notes from the training, and the video was Introduction to the Screen Reader, and has both Real and QuickTime versions.
