+Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader
+that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable
+combinations of speech and/or braille.
+
+Orca works with applications and toolkits that support the assistive
+technology service provider interface (AT-SPI), which is the primary
+assistive technology infrastructure for the Solaris and Linux
+operating environments. Applications and toolkits supporting the
+AT-SPI include the GNOME GTK+ toolkit, the Java platform's Swing
+toolkit, OpenOffice/LibreOffice, Gecko, and WebKitGtk. AT-SPI support
+for the KDE Qt toolkit is currently being pursued.
+
+See also http://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca for detailed information
+on Orca, including how to run Orca, how to communicate with the Orca
+user community, and where to log bugs and feature requests.
+
+brltty and liblouis are optional dependencies for braille support.
