Hi, this is some info that I discovered by accident, but it may provide a way to install intrepid with orca. I didn't have time to test this, but will in the next few days.
   I discovered that if you enable accessibility on the hardy live cd with f5 and the number three keys when you boot the live CD, you can set up the root account and log into it like you can on a installed system.
However, for some reason if you do not enable accessibility until you run orca after the live CD boots. You can still set up the root account, but for some reason you can not log into it. 
I will test this later, and if ubiquity works ok we should have a way to install with speech even though it will mean setting up the root account first. I really don't know why this can not be a option by default.
   The other thing I don't know yet is if installing from the root account will have any effect on the install process.
   Anyway I just thought I would share that information.
Mike.
