Orca under Fedora 12?

[Janina Sajka]

Yes, I am running Orca (and Speakup) on Fedora 112 without any real
issues at all. All my packages are stock Fedora (except for the Speakup
Modified kernel). I am running over the Fedora provided Speech
Dispatcherd. Gnome Speech proved far too latent for some reason.
