You may need to install speechdispatcher so screen-reader/orca can use it to speak.

I finally have maid installed on my arch system. It looks different than ubuntu Nate because it does not have many applications on it. The major problem I am having is that orca does not speak. Espeakup in the command line works but as soon as I go into Nate orca although turned on does not work.
