It can be used with the terminal. What he's saying is that the user wasn't able to access programs because they were running as root so they need to run orca as root as well.

Oh Ken, you disappoint me.
I was more and more convinced that Orca could be used well at least with some apps, but now I hear that in order to access the command line I need to use another screen reader.

Well, this is not needed at all under Windows where I can use Jaws with apps with a GUI and with apps that run in a command line, and I even use Linux with Jaws by SecureCRT.

use the console use a console screen reader and that's speakup.  If you
don't have a hardware synth then you're probably going to need to shell out for the IBM Viavoice or what ever they are calling it now something like tts but its 45$ so not too bad. Or you could go with Espeak and speakup which
is all free.  Those will give you the root access your looking
