I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04, and all I am able to do to stop it is to kill its process, but it carries on talking even after it is dead! That is, it finishes its sentence in protest... But some way of exiting it other than that would be nice...
** Summary changed: - There is no apparent way to stop Orca. + There is no apparent way to stop Orca -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-orca in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1165609 Title: There is no apparent way to stop Orca Status in OEM Priority Project: Invalid Status in gnome-orca package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The "Orca Screen Reader" icon in the Dash is a trap. If a user accidentally opens it, the only apparent recourse for the incessant jabber is to either mute the volume system-wide or log out. This makes for a very poor user experience. Orca could avoid this situation by providing at least one of the following: 1) A notification of how to stop it, if there is a way to stop it. 2) A confirmation prompt prior to starting. 3) A quit option in a standard location such as the indicator menu.
