Hi, Yes I meant the console works much better with speakup then orca
does in the terminal as I get lots of text from previous screens and
when using speakup in the console only it reads very cleanly and not so
scattered. I prefer when I use the shell to use speakup rather then
orca so yes the console is what I meant to say does not work in the
Forky installation but orca does. Nick Gawronski

I don't think you would want speakup in a terminal.
I am guessing that most people who want Speakup rather than Orca, call up a
console and run Speakup there.
Speakup won't really work in a GUI session, which is where the terminal is
running from.

Hi, I just installed Forky and noticed that orca comes up as normal

I have no speech from speakup what so ever. This should be fixed as
that could really be a mess for some users and orca is not the best in
terminal applications.
Why according to you, Orca is not working in the terminal?
I use Orca in the terminal on a daily bases without problem.
