Hi Andreas,
Indeed, if SBG is tagged correctly, it is easy for adaptive technology to be able to read it. Tagging involves using the title attribute to label elements. See http://www.viewplustech.com for examples of accessible SVG.

Subject: Re: [Inkscape-user] svg for web pages.
Hi,
I wouldn't recommend doing an SVG only website.
But the accessibility of SVG is way better than the one from Flash. The
one is a binary, frame based format, the other is text-based markup that
humans, machines, search engines and screen readers can read. I have
seen screen readers for the blind where Apache Batik was used to make
SVG charts and maps accessible to the blind and visually impaired by
providing tactile and acoustic feedback.
True - SVG screenreaders are not yet embedded in browsers by default,
but if more people would use SVG on the web, it would encourage browser
developers to improve the accessibility of SVG documents. Technically
(from a format point of view) there are no accessibility problems with
SVG - but implementation wise and maybe also from author guidelines
things could be improved.
I would use SVG along with HTML, each for its strength. Interactive
graphics, apps, charts and maps with SVG, documents with lots of text
and navigation with HTML, backgrounds, gradients and decorations (e.g.
for bullet lists) can be done in SVG in modern browsers.
