archlinux gnome and orca package

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Sorry if this sounds like a weird question, but what do you mean by, 
"2:  I never try to use speakup and orca in the same session."?  Do you 
mean that during a period when you're using orca, you never use speakup 
in a text terminal, and that when you're using speakup you do not use 
the gui?  Thanks!
