Subject: Re: status of orca on latest ubuntu Ubuntu 12.04, the current Long Term Stable (LTS) release is accessible. You can install it by starting Orca with the control+s keystroke after you hear the drums during boot up.
Another option is vinux 4 from http://vinuxproject.org/ This is also based on Ubuntu 12.04 but Orca will come up automatically during boot up. Speakup also works in the console and a few other accessible applications and useful tweaks have been included for the blind user.

What is the current status of ubuntu’s accessibility? Also what are the steps for installation of ubuntu using a screenreader? --
