Hi Marcel, Orca is designed quite differently than Gnopernicus, and its major advantage is that there is almost no learning curve involved in terms of being able to use the screen reader. Orca speaks most information automatically, and if there is a need for using flat review, you can activate it with a single keystroke. At that point, the keystrokes for reviewing are much like those in Speakup. Right now, web browsing is still a bit cumbersome, but everything else works quite well. GAIM, Star/OpenOffice, email, file browsing, system administration tools, the list goes on and on.
