How to check the battery on a laptop with orca?
In most modern kernels, you can just
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
(if you have more than one battery, you'll have a BAT1 too). You
can redirect this output to wherever you want, whether a TTS,
braille output, or just a file for later editing. Once you know
what you're looking for, you can toss together a shell-script to
just grep what you want from this pseudo-file.
If you're really obsessive, you can also investigate the contents
of the "info" pseudo-file in the same location as "state" which
has far more info about your battery than most sane folks care to
know about (grins).
