Efficiently using terminal with screenreader

[Reece O'Bryan]

Thank you, this is great information. Is it difficult having both running at the same time; speak up running in terminal and orca running for everything else? Wouldn’t orca still try to speak when you open the terminal. 
Which other window managers are orca friendly? Do I have to stick with gnome or can I go with something like XFCE, KDE, etc? I know these are simple questions, but I do not want to risk doing something to my machine that would require someone with vision to help me fix it.  

Thank you,

-Reece
