I believe most of the world does, which is really a shame, but
especially for ddisabled people who end up having to pay for accessibility
technology. (OT: tthere is now a free screen-reader for Windows called
NVDA: as I haven't touched a computer running windows for nearrly
thirteen years, I can't say whether it is good or not, but it is an
alternative of which you should be aware.). As for Orca, your best bet
is probably to read the manual and learn to use it yourself. Which
applications would your students be using mostly? 

Hopefully, someone with greater Orca experience (I don't use the
graphical interface much) will jump in with more helpful information.

Cheers,
S.M.

Well, I use Windows every day and can attest to NVDA being a very good screen reader indeed. It gives Jaws a run for its money. Jaws is still a very very good screen reader though.Â
