Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Orca is a screen reader that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable combinations of speech and/or braille. Orca works with applications and toolkits that support the assistive technology service provider interface (AT-SPI), e.g. the GNOME desktop.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
