Yes of course it is.
It is much more simple to use a single screen reader than 2 or more.

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.

The problem is your trying to do everything with Orca.  Orca is a window
environment what your trying to do is real console stuff. If you want to
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
