I guess you're telling me that mate installs an executable called screen-reader? A very questionable naming, imo, given that we have several in the Linux ecosystem. And, if the -- need is to restart the screen-reader, why is the switch not --restart. Saying --replace is poor language use--poor English, to be more precise.

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.
