I'm not sure if this helps or not, but along with not being able to read
the installer in Ubuntu Mate 20.10 and 21.04, I also cannot read such
programs as gparted if I drop and launch them from a terminal. I am
booted with a live USB image in uefi mode. I can reproduce the gparted
issue by dropping to mate terminal, issuing sudo -i, then gparted. No
speech, and alt+tabbing yields gparted as super-user. This is a huge
problem for me, because Ubuntu live images have always been a
troubleshooting tool when I work on people's computers.

Title:
  orca screen reader does not read Ubuntu mate installer

Status in Ubuntu MATE:
  New
Status in orca package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Orca Screen reader will not read installer window
  I am testing the Ubuntu 20.04 beta in a virtual machine
  here are the steps to reproduce this issue
  Step one:  Boot the live image as normal
  Step 2: when you hear the new Ubuntu logo sound, try starting the orca screen reader with super+alt+S
  You then should hear screen reader on.
  If you press tab or alt+tab, you only get the install window title spoken along with as superuser and nothing else.
  This used to work in one of the earlier daily builds but it appears that something has been broken.
