According to Clive Menzies:
# You might want to check out Gnopernicus:
# http://www.baum.ro/gnopernicus.html
# 
# It is a screen reader and magnifier and it enables users with limited
# vision, or no vision, to use the Gnome 2 desktop and Gnome/GTK+2
# applications effectively. By providing automated focus tracking and
# fullscreen magnification, Gnopernicus aids low-vision Gnome users.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from all I've read, Gnopernicus is
pretty much a dead project.  Orca, however, which is primarily developed
by Sun,has picked up development where Gnopernicus left off and is
currently included with Gnome along with another screen reader called
LSR, which is primarily developed by IBM.
