HI, over the past three days ive been playing with orca. This is on a Ubuntu edgy knot3 release system. I have noticed that Orca is a bit unresponsive but that's to do with flight issues not orca itself, some applications freeze the speech and I have to restart to get it back, for example: The synaptic utility. Don't be to excited about orca, there's a long way to go, don't get me wrong its a huge giant step sinse Gnopernicus but its nothing like speakup or anything on windows.

As far as speakup's abilities, it is a console (command line) screen reader, but there is Orca that works with the Gnome desktop under X-Windows. I'm trying now to get my Gnome updated, because I'm impatient, want to play with Orca and don't want to wait another month for Fedora Core 6. At any rate, I hope that helps and good luck with Linux.
