I just cut/pasted the exact code from the "How I can customize Orca so 
it can speak / braille current date and time information with a keyboard 
command??" question of the FAQ:

http://live.gnome.org/Orca/FrequentlyAskedQuestions

It works for me.  So, I suspect maybe you might have some syntax errors 
or something in your file.  :-(

http://live.gnome.org/Orca/SysAdmin has the instructions, but they might 
not be concise enough if you're skimming.  In a nutshell, assuming 
you're using Ubuntu:

1) Create the file "/root/.orbitrc".  The spelling/punctuation/case of 
the filename and its contents are all important.  Here's the two lines 
that should be in the file:

ORBIIOPIPv4=1
ORBIIOPUNIX=0

2) Edit "/etc/sudoers" to add the following line after the line with 
"env_reset" in it.  Again, spelling/punctuation/case are important and I 
believe it needs to be *after* the "env_reset" line:

Defaults env_keep+="GTK_MODULES"

I'd also recommend at least logging out and logging back in.  A reboot 
would also be a nice sane heavy sledge hammer to yield some sanity.

Hope this helps,

Will
