Sometimes I can't, or don't want to run the gui just to do something. 2.) Orca isn't nearly as verbal as S0peakup in a terminal. Makes me wonder whether you ask this from a theoretical viewpoint rather than from experience. 3.) Orca doesn't provide an analog to Speakup's Insert plus Keypad-Enter silence mode. This is a serious deficiency in the gui, but especially so in the terminal. 4.) I tend to have up to 24 consoles open, each focused on a different task. Only one of these is for the gui, but the point is that I can quickly and unerringly switch among these. On the other, with Orca I'd need to Alt TAB my way around. That would give neither the speed of access, nor the accuracy of landing where I mean to go so reliably. Janina
