Unfortunately, I don't believe that Orca has full touch screen support as of this moment. Specifically, I don't think touch screens are fully supported in at-spi, which is the part of the system that actually handles such things. Touch screen support in at-spi and Orca would currently be limited to some sort of mouse pointer emulation that may work similar to the way Android's explore by touch system works, but this would be using the "speak object under mouse" functionality of Orca, which may present more problems on touch screens than it solves. I'm still not comfortable attempting to type on touch screens anyway, which is why I still purchase phones with built-in keyboards. If I'm gonna purchase a second device just for typing, then I'd rather have a laptop, and I'm currently working on building an open design around some of the new ARM boards, which should combine the best of the desktop in a much more portable package with better battery life than most of today's laptops, and would offer better input flexibility than most of today's tablets.
