The most commonly used screen reader on Linux is called Speakup, and you will find it at:
http://www.linux-speakup.org
There are others, such as yasr.
Emacspeak is an excellent tool. Raman just insists that it is not a screen reader because audio functionality is directly integrated with Emacs. In other words, it doesn't rely on screen text to construct the interface.
Another audio interface to Emacs is speech-dispatcher:

There are still more. So, you have many good options for your wife. And, perhaps the best news, is that you can save lots of money.
