Using the word "replace" for the switch is not poor English and is
precise. If you really just wanted to restart Orca, you wouldn't need a
command line switch at all. Here's what the "replace" switch does, taken
from the Orca man page:
*--replace*
Replace a currently running*orca* process. By default, if*orca* detects an existing
*orca* process for the same session, it will not start a new*orca* process. This
option will kill and cleanup after any existing*orca* process and then start a new
*orca* in its place.

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.

It forces a restart of screen-reader after screen-reader is shut down.

Interesting, What does:
screen-reader --replace
do? Please explain.

First install the mate-extra group. Next after you start mate, hit f4
just once. Then try running screen-reader --replace <enter> and see
what happens. That f4 key toggles accessibility on and off so only hit
it once and that should help.

Subject: Orca does not speak
Hello everyone,. 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. Anyone have ideas in how to fix it.
An help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Michael maslo
