The central issue as I see it is that speech cannot be enabled normally until after "Try Ubuntu" is selected. I would expect it to be available on the very first screen, however I don't know if it was designed this way, or is an unintended consequence with the introduction of the MATE welcome screen, or is simply a bug.

The temporary workaround is small at best:
It can be started with the terminal prior to "Try Ubuntu" but then when the user selects "Try Ubuntu" it shuts off and will not come back on. Selecting "Install Ubuntu" will allow speech to turn back on but this is not a workable solution for someone just trying the product out.

Any other findings related to Orca, and unrelated to starting it up at or around "Try Ubuntu" should be separated.
