\application{Orca} is another useful tool for persons with visual impairments, and comes pre-installed on Ubuntu. To run \application{Orca}, press \keystroke{Alt+F2} and type \userinput{orca} into the command text field. Click \button{Run} when you are done. Orca's voice synthesizer will activate and assist you through the various options such as voice type, voice language, Braille, and screen magnification. Once you have finished selecting your settings, you will need to log out of the computer (Orca will offer to do this for you). When you log back in, the Orca settings you chose will automatically run every time you use your computer.

To save energy, you can put your computer into sleep mode, which will save its current condition and allow you to start more quickly while remaining on but using very little energy. Suspending the computer spins down the hard disk and saves your session to memory, so it is very quick to suspend and resume from suspension.

Hibernate is similar to suspend, except that instead of saving your session to memory, hibernate will save your session to the hard disk. This takes a little longer, but with the added benefit that hibernation uses no power while it is in a hibernated state.
