ok, I set the property to 1, but is the same result. Therefore I wrong 
about space, infact it works correctly.

Orca by default has enabled keyboard echo. I suggest to disable it and 
enable only echo on character and word.

Ins+Space, go to echo tab, deactivate checkbox enable echo on keys, 
activate checkbox Enable echo on character and enable key echo on word. 
Click to Ok for confirm.

main API accessibility is at-spi, actually is at version 2.50 about. It 
provides to give informations about GTK events and allow assistive 
tecnologies to work.
