As said before, if you just start it from ssh that won't work. Setting
DISPLAY is not enough nowadays to get access to the desktop. Blame the
dm for that new "idea" (gdm or kdm).

You thus have to start orca from the desktop itself. Doing it by hand is
of course not convenient. I don't know if gnome people have introduced a
shortcut to start it, it would have been a good idea. You can however
configure gnome to start it automatically, from the accessibility
control panel. You can do this from the command line too, for gnome 3 it
should be working this way:

eval $(dbus-launch)
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID 
GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications 
screen-reader-enabled true
