16.04 alpha 2 32-bit image behaves exactly the same way. Just for preciseness I sum it up:
1. After booting and the bongo drum sound press Alt+Super+s to start Orca - result: no speech
2. Fire up a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t) and start Orca manually - result: Orca comes up talking. Now the language selector becomes screen reader accessible, however you must press Alt-tab to focus the selector (the same happened with 15.10). This could be logical, but I found no way to make the terminal go away (typing exit or pressing Alt+f4 were in vain), theAlt+Tab is still needed to focus the selector.
So far this is the original Bug #1545516. Now comes this bug:
3. Now with speech feedback select your language and click "Try Ubuntu". Result:
Orca stops speaking. Restarting it with Alt+Super+s or via the Terminal or even the Run Dialog doesn't succeed. The system remains silent, but it doesn't freeze, it's possible to shut it down: power switch - bang sound - Enter key - shutdown.
4. However if you click "Install Ubuntu" instead, the installer comes up talking. It's possible to complete the first two screens with speech feedback, and it'smost probably very possible to get through the entire install process with speech, but I didn't want to do that.
5. Interestingly if you quit the install program prematurely (which I did as I was just testing it a bit) the same happens as in point 3. and you are stuck with a silent desktop and the only option is to shut it down.
I haven't tested with the 64-bit image, because I don't have access to such hardware.
