Hi, To get orca running, first do you have auto login or do you have to enter a password? If you have a password than you should be able to just press ault supper s and orca should come up talking. I think this works after login as well but don't remember as it's been sometime since I did an install of ubuntu system. Not sure off the top of my head but there is a ubuntu accessibility list which should help with what you want. HTH.
