I even ran Orca with Fluxbox, but then you have to expect that the menu (not written in GTK and QT) won't be accessible. But it works ;-). Without kidding: Mate, it is very accessible for my daily work and I can recommend it.

Could you describe in more detail the issues that you are having? >I have been able to get Orca working quite well on Buster Mate and am >figuring out how to change the voice to one of the FLite arctic options. >Oddly, Orca does not have an entry on the Mate start menu. It is in the menu under system / Settings / Personal / Assistive Technologies (terms might vary slightly). There you can enable assistive technologies and this will enable Orca. >Is anyone using emacspeak?

I am not using it, but AFAIU Emacspeak is an screen reader for Emacs and as such brilliant if you are working with in the Emacs ecosystem; it's an editor nevertheless. Adriane provides a menu-based user interface that enables the user to choose between browsing, e-mail and other tasks, instead of presenting a desktop environment. My information might be a bit outdated, though. Cheers SebastianCheers sebCheers sebCheers sebCheers sebCheers sebCheers sebCheers sebCheers seb
