A test just now: Installing using the standard installer: In order to get speech output, you have to specifically select Install with speech installer which then uses espeak voice for the install Installing using the expert text installer: The step which would install a Braille keyboard is skipped unless a Braille keyboard is found. An install of XFCE *does* include Orca but it's not enabled unless you explicitly enable Accessibility tools and enable speech and screen reader support I do not understand what Gene may have done at some point but I've just stepped through a couple of installs and there's no *obvious* way to get Orca producing speech indefinitely Who knows how Gene did this except Gene himself.
