To be more precise: The Gnome terminal, a console withing Gnome, is 
completely accessible with Orca. But besides this terminal, there are six 
more terminals, that are completely text based. For them you need a screen 
reader, and Hardy comes with brltty, which, however, requires a braille 
display.
Unfortunately there's no Speakup on Ubuntu since one year, so that one has 
to install a screen reader, such as yasr, to use the text console with 
speech only.
