===============
* What is Orca?
===============

Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader that 
provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable 
combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification.  Orca development 
has been led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office 
via continued engagement with its end users and generous contributions 
from the Mozilla Foundation and wonderful community members.

The Orca v2.25.5 release is targeted for the GNOME v2.25.5 release and 
requires the latest at-spi/pyatspi infrastructure from GNOME v2.25.5.

You can also read more about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca.
