Andy and Steve, Thanks for your replies. I will look at both Shoot The Messenger and the Google toolbar and see how we get on with them.

I think it is on http://www.toolbar.google.com. It is easy to configure with a screen reader, you can let a popup through for one time, or permanently if you want, and it generally seems to work for me. And it's free!
