If orca doesn't support a gui application, and there is a cli alternative, then you can get that, and try running it in a xterm. I haven't played much with orca support in xterm windows, so I don't know how well that compares to running with speakup in a text console, out of the gui. Some on here have said orca does well in xterm windows, others have said that it doesn't do as well as speakup does, so I don't know. > And you have put me in doubts that either CLI is the same as GNOME terminal. Mikel explained this well in one of his posts. Pretend you're using a win95/win98/winme system. In a dosbox (a command-line window running in the gui), you are running dos software, but are doing it in a gui, this is like running a xterm window inside of the gnu/linux gui. Now, If you went to the shutdown dialogue in our windows system, and chose "restart the computer in ms-dos mode", You'd be in pure dos, without the gui, and this is like the gnu/linux text console. Orca is therefore a gui screen reader that can read xterm windows for you the equivalent of the dosbox, along with reading the gui. Speakup is a screen reader for the text console, that will work only in the text console, the equivalent of using a screen reader in ms-dos mode in our windows example. I hope that makes sense between the explanation Mikel gave, and the one I just gave above.
