I had only tested them on Arch, but I think it's a gnome-shell thing, so it should work on any distro with gnome-shell 3.6, and may work on earlier versions as well. I have read that there may be a hotkey option coming in the future, but some funky things with pulseaudio will have to be worked out also, or there will be a lot of disappointments when it doesn't work as expected. Of course I refer to the autospawn being turned off by default, which causes a copy of /etc/pulse/client.conf to need to be copied to /var/lib/gdm/.config/pulse/client.conf and autospawn to need to be enabled in GDM's copy just to make that talking login screen work properly. I'm sure turning autospawn off by default fixed some things for other users, but it sure did make things more difficult for those of us who need Orca at the login screen. Of course this won't be a problem at all for users who disable pulseaudio systemwide, as speech should work in gdm the same as it does on the desktop. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ...
