Hmmm....you might have a pointer to an old version of the documentation. 
 The learn mode functionality is Insert+h and the Insert+{left,right} 
bindings are no longer bound to speech functions.

You can find a more recent version of the keyboard command documentation 
here: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/KeyboardCommands.

Hope this helps!
