That's right. But if you are accessing the Pi through SSH/Putty you will not be
able to use the graphical desktop. SSH only works via the terminal. So if you
are trying to start Orca or type commands to the graphical desktop through SSH
it will not work. Those commands should give you sound output. It is also
important to run spd-conf before starting Orca as it will create a
user-specific speech dispatcher configuration.
If you are not receiving any sound if you do espeak "hi" or spd-say "hi" even
after doing spd-conf do alsamixer and make sure the devices are turned up and
unmuted. This will require the alsa-utils package.
You can also do a quick and dirty reset with the command alsactl init.
Good luck!

Hi,
I have not done any of those things. Do I just write what you said in the
terminal via putty? That is how I am accessing the PI4 now through ssh.

Have you verified that you have working sound before starting Orca? Have
you for instance typed bespeak?hi" or spd-say "hi"? Did you run spd-conf and
configured it to use pulse or libao; Is your volume up and devices unmuted?

Hi,
I updated and upgraded the Raspian OS and installed Orca. Then I
restarted the PI4. Did not get anything out of it.
Does anyone know what I should do next to get it talking? When it started
I tried even pressing super s or alt s and nothing no sound.

Hi
The latest version of Raspbian now offers Orca through recommended
software. It would appear that the only accessible way of installing
it is to enable SSH and install remotely using apt though and it
doesn't look like there's an easy way of enabling it for the first
time. Has anyone given it a go?
