Re: Forky installer speakup does not work after installation but orca does

I don't think you would want speakup in a terminal.
I am guessing that most people who want Speakup rather than Orca, call up a 
console and run Speakup there.
Speakup won't really work in a GUI session, which is where the terminal is 
running from.

Why according to you, Orca is not working in the terminal?

I use Orca in the terminal on a daily bases without problem.
