Bug Description
I am totally blind. I downloaded Ubuntu Mate 15.10 32-bit ISO image to try it out and install it later if I like it. I successfully "burned" the image to an USB drive and booted it up. I heard the bongo drum sound (so my sound card should be okay) and pressed the Alt+Super+s key combination to launch Orca screen reader, as the Ubuntu Accessibility Wiki suggests. But instead of hearing Orca talk I heard nothing. I retried this multiple times with the same result.

I've taken the info about the usage of Alt+Super+s with live images from the following page:
https:/ /help.ubuntu. com/community/ Accessibility
Subtitle "Enabling the screen reader", one but last paragraph: "When you boot the live CD, you should hear a bongo drum sound. At this point, you can go ahead and enable Orca. Once again, the keyboard shortcut Alt + Super + S is used to enable orca. Orca should start speaking, and from this point you can select your language, and either boot into a live Ubuntu desktop by selecting the "Try Ubuntu" push button, or you can elect to install Ubuntu by selecting the "Install Ubuntu" push button."
