[Parameswaran Sivatharman]

So basically these are the steps followed,
1. Start your machine with the install media in place
    Wait to hear the drums  
2. Press Ctrl+s to start the screen-reader
3. Press Alt+Tab to change to the installer
4. Press Up or Down arrow to select your language(default is English)
5. Press Tab once to "Try Ubuntu"
6. Press Enter
(    This will load the usb in the live session)
7. Press Super+1 to begin the installation. Super is the left windows key
8.Use up-arrow and down-arrow to select the language you want to the installation to use 
***** The options were read back until this point, please see attached  file named 'read.jpg'*****
9. Press Enter
**********From this point onwards orca fails to read any selections for any key presses, please see the screenshot named 'unread.jpg'**************
Hence could not continue the installation further.

Title:
  orca quits reading after the welcome screen in ubiquity

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Quantal:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On the quantal beta 2 image - 20120925, I'm trying to do the
  screenreader test.  So far I've been able to reproduce this with both
  i386 and amd64+mac.  After starting orca, things seem to work ok
  through the welcome screen in ubiquity, but then it quits reading.
  Starting with the screen titled "Install" with the text at the top
  "Preparing to install Ubuntu", it doesn't read the screen any longer.
  Nor does it seem to tell me when I press keys like enter to move on.
  Other apps are still read to me after this by orca though.
