Hi there, I'm not too familiar with Orca, but it would also have to be activated by default to be truly useful for visually impaired users, correct? I think users would probably be better served by a dedicated distro that specializes in accessibility, but if it doesn't require a lot of additional configuration I could probably generate a Mate ISO with accessibility features pre-installed.

hi, the orca package, speech dispatcher, pulseaudio, espeak-ng/espeak would need to be installed, then the speech dispatcher service would need to be enabled. I would assume that pulseaudio is preinstalled? I hope this makes sence, Majid Hussain
