Similar looking, but about as much the  same as a steak and a picture of a
steak. The structural markup is accessible to various text-to-speech
browsers, such as what blind surfers use, or what you may find in cars
pretty soon, for browsing while driving.
See for instance

I too find it hard designing for voice, since I do not have a voice browser
on my system. I did download the trial version IBM Home Page Reader and try
it out, but cant purchase it at this time (though the price is fairly
manageable, unlike much other disability software).
Anyone who wants to hear a screen reader sample could try

So far the computer voices I have heard all seem to have Minnesota
accents.:-)
