Having examined 13.10.2, with the polyglossia package installed and
accessible to orgmode putting set-language into the right place would
default to English and other languages would need to specify their

and I run orca as necessary. I mostly live on the command line so orca is
used rarely.
I think a reasonable test of export quality will be to make a pdf with
orgmode then run that pdf through pdftotext and compare the extracted text
with the pdf file. I can't do that since without use of pdftotext the
screen readers will not work on pdf files.
At first I expected that you may use some proprietary screenreader
software, e.g. some plugin to Adobe Reader.
Could you, please, provide a tiny example of your Org file with just a
couple of lines of text and with settings relevant to export? It would
be helpful to get an example of minimal LaTeX file that allows to
generate a PDF file that has metadata that you expect to get and the PDF
file or at least output of pdfinfo, pdffonts.
There are still enough of uncertainties:
- What TeX engine do you use? E.g. for PdfLaTeX it may be necessary to
add \usepackage{cmap} immediately after \documentclass. Unicode engines
like LuaTeX likely do not require such trick.
- Is there a reason why you are using polyglossia? Juan Manuel on this
list says that (if I have got it right) babel is superior nowadays.
- There may be some LaTeX-related specifics for particular language
after all.
