[The Unknown <1165609@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04, and all I am able to do to stop it is
to kill its process, but it carries on talking even after it is dead!
That is, it finishes its sentence in protest... But some way of exiting
it other than that would be nice...

Title:
  There is no apparent way to stop Orca

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Invalid
Status in gnome-orca package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The "Orca Screen Reader" icon in the Dash is a trap. If a user
  accidentally opens it, the only apparent recourse for the incessant
  jabber is to either mute the volume system-wide or log out. This makes
  for a very poor user experience.

  Orca could avoid this situation by providing at least one of the
  following:

    1) A notification of how to stop it, if there is a way to stop it.
    2) A confirmation prompt prior to starting.
    3) A quit option in a standard location such as the indicator menu.
