What do screen readers get?

Do screen readers receive raw source code or processed source code? In other words, if a script in a page writes some of that page's content, does a blind user's screen reader get the generated content, or the script that generates it?

IF it gets the content, I can move on, confident that the site is meeting WAI and 508 requirements. If not, I need to provide at least an indication that certain data is supposed to be there.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know screen readers don't read the contents of script tags. So you have to use <noscript>.
