Hi Mike,
Screen readers, at least mine does, tell us when we pass over a superscript
number. And if properly placed and accurately created, they are very
helpful. Unfortunately, as I'm sure you've seen, it's not easy or wise to
count on OCR to accurately place and render superscript where it belongs.
But in answer to your question, yes, screen readers do announce superscript.

Do screen readers generally tell you when something is superscripted or
subscripted? Does Braille? Correct superscripts and subscripts can
definitely be helpful for sighted folks with some other reading impairment,
but how would a blind person know separate out meaningful superscripts such
as from footnotes from the OCR program just superscripting some random chunk
of text?
