ARIA key landmarks not recognized by screen readers

I am learning the ARIA implementation with HTML5 and created a technical demo on localhost to manage the area before exporting to the production site.

I tested with IE11 / Firefox 23 and Jaws 15 / Fangs - Firefox add-on after adding the iconic HTML5 tag roles .

None of the aforementioned browser / reading screen combinations recognize ARIA roles or landmarks (i.e. no changes to how the page was announced before / after role attributes were added to existing tags).

The code I'm testing is:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>  
   <head>
       <title>ARIA Test</title>
   </head>
   <body role="document">
       <div role="banner"> Hello world!</div>
       <div role="main">Greetings Earth!</div>
   </body>
</html>

Does anyone have any recommendations on launching the ARIA role in on-screen programs?
