Some time ago, I did try the speech-dispatcher back-end for orca, but didn't continue to use it as I remember that there were some issues with it knowing when the speech had finished and sometimes missing parts of speech. Also whenever I do an update I would need to re-apply the back-end, or so went my experience.
