I have  a fresh install of Ubuntu dapper on a virtual machine and This morning, on a whim, I  thought I would see what would happen if I did an apt-get install orca.   The results were surprising to say the least:
 
The following NEW packages will be installed
orca
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 459 not upgraded.
Need to get 4484B of archives.
After unpacking 106kB of additional disk space will be used.
Get: 1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/universe orca 0.2.3 [4484B]
Fetched 4484B in 3s (1455B/s)
Selecting previously deselected package orca.
(Reading database ... 82875 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking orca (from .../archives/orca_0.2.3_i386.deb) ...
Setting up orca (0.2.3) ...
You need to configure ORCA by changing /etc/orca.conf.
Once you're happy with that setup, you can start the
daemon by typing /etc/init.d/orca start''.
 
I have no idea what this is, but it definitely appears to be something other than the screen reader.  Also, issuing a which orca command doesn't find any occurrences of a file named Orca in my path.
