LSR is a little bit less responsive then orca. LSR speaks different voices (pitch) for windows captions, menu items and plain reading or messages. I compiled manually both of them after installing all dependences. But the last release of orca is extremely unstable, so I now use LSR. BTW, I don't have a whole gnome environment, so may be I've something missed... As a result, I like LSR because of stability and orca because of responsiveness. They both read the same amount of apps. Also LSR has more control of configuration from command line.
