Starting orca from menu doesn't work as expected. Process dies after short period of time. I can hear voice asking "Enable echo by word? Enter y or n:", but no visible dialog appears make make this choice.
Launching orca from terminal produces:
$ orca
kill: 190: No such process
Welcome to Orca setup.
Enable echo by word? Enter y or n:
