You don't install debian that way. To install debian you boot the disk and at the beep hit s then hit enter. Orca is not used to install debian, that's done using espeakup. If it works, you'll be asked which language to use. A numbered list of languages will be spoken and you choose your number type it in at the prompt and hit enter. I have been totally blind all of my life and just finished a debian install yesterday. Pretty far into the installation you'll get the opportunity to install desktops like cinnamon lxde and mate. Mate apparently is the most accessible of these. I had no help with the debian installation either and that's because enough instructions got spoken I was able to do it by myself. So, now that you know how to start an install process let's see how you do.
