What are you trying to do. Does he wants to speak to the computer or
listen to what is on the computer.

Sphinx allows the operator to speak to the computer.
Orca speaks to the operator and tells him what is on the screen.

Note: My friend says Unit works but gnome-shell is a lot better using Orca
Note: Both are floss programs. Orca is usually available on any distro.
You may need to down load sphinx.
