After that failure, I removed gnome and gnome-extra from this system.
So far as I can find out on this end, archlinux works great with
espeakup doesn't work any longer with emacspeak and speechdispatcher and
orca not at all. Until I find far better documentation on how to
actually get these other screen readers running and talking on archlinux
I'll confine graphical user interface stuff to other disks and other
systems. Next time I try to solve a captcha on Linux, I'll put a call
up to be my eyes and see what can be done that way since firefox is
dodgey in terms of being able to work with webvisum.

Don't worry I'm having the same thing as well. I keep wondering if
there if there is a service I need to enable for speech dispatcher or
change something in config files. I might try ratpoison with orca.

I replaced orca with orca-git and have no better performance.

Subject: archlinux gnome and orca package
I have gnome and gnome-extra on the system and removed mate and mate-extra
by
now. I have managed to login with gnome and proved it by running
gnome-terminal then using the backspace key a few times until I heard
repeated beeps each time I hit the key. I ran speaker-test inside
gnome-terminal and heard static on speakers too.
Unfortunately, orca for archlinux is packaged incorrectly since when
started
even under these conditions orca does not talk at all but only shows its
setup screen.
Also, orca.desktop file did not come in the orca package and that may or
may
not contribute to the problems. running orca, orca --replace, and
alt-super-s in turn failed to bring orca up talking.
