As I'm not a regular screen reader user, the results are sometimes quite surprising.
I'd thought CamelCase was well supported by screen readers, but something like "(RaptorQ)"(pronounced "raptor queue") is read as "left paren r a p t o r q right paren", which is quite an earful, so I end up hacking the alt text to be "Raptor Q" with a space and removing the parentheses to make it read more naturally.
