Hello Tyler, When your in x do alt+f2 and type in orca. You will be asked to choice the language, voice, speech server, etc... just listen to the prompts and you will be fine. When selecting your language/voice to use for orca that can be a lenghthy process since you will have to hear all the voices. You can useually make your choices and press enter and wait a bit until it moves on to the next prompt. Alternatively you can use orca -t in the console to set up orca if you don't want ot set it up in x. See the orca website for getting started with orca. http://live.gnome.org/orca If you click on configuration/use, you will land in a heading describing how to use orca and some links to use gnome along with orca keyboard commands.
