Hi Justin,
I was actually thinking on putting it on my blog.
I will actually do so in the morning.
Right now I am travelling in rural part of Maharashtra, a state in India.
I am going to give a hands-on demo on Ubuntu 12.04 as a big
univercity in that area is shifting to foss and like many institutes
they consult me.
I will have some more inputs when I do it in the morning and in the
process I will also know some more good or bad things about accessibility.
Then we can surely make this into a document.
Happy hacking.

Possibly a redundant request, but will this information be available on a blog
or wiki so that when we go to install it ourselves, we can read about what to
expect and what to do to make things work?
It would be cool even if the below email were just copied on to a wiki under
installing 12.04 with speech or something.
Regards
Justin Harford

Hi,
That's great news re: the 01-April daily build of Ubuntu 12.04. How do you
get Unity 2D as your desktop? Do you run this as a flash drive installation?
Do you do the install in 3d, then change it after login?
I have the trouble coming my way only first time.
Basically, I have it on my pen drive but soon to be installed on my netbook.
Actually when I booted the pen drive for the first time, I waited for the drums
to sound which they did.
Then I pressed ctrl + s for the speech.
I waited for the desktop to come after I selected try Ubuntu.
As you might be aware you got to press tab once after the first screen on live
boot comes up.
But then the trouble started.
I had to do some guess work and after I was sure that the desktop had come up,
I pressed alt + f2 and typed orca.
sure enough, Orca started.
But mind you we get the unity 3d desktop by default.
So naturally menus and all won't speak.
Yet, I pressed alt +f10 and got orca to read the menus.
But if you don't get the same result, just press the super key and type log and
press down arrow 2 times.
Hit enter.
Now you logout
Again the drums will sound and Orca will speak.
Press the tab key once and hit enter.
you will get the choices for the session login.
Press shift + tab and you will hear Orca say unity 2d
press enter and come back to the username entry field.
Type ubuntu for the username and hit enter.
now just press enter for password.
Wait for 5 or 10 seconds and just start orca using the alt + f2 method.
This time sure enough. orca will speak all as I had mentioned in my previous
email.
Happy hacking.
