Description
On microsoft windows, retroarch uses NVDA to speak. I'm not certain what it does on mac but assume it uses voice over. Orca's remote is brand new but it has the ability to speak and braille messages and that's what's important. Docs are in readme-remote-controller.md

Research direction
Start by reading readme-remote-controller.md to understand Orca's remote controller interface and how it can speak or display braille messages. The work is done when RetroArch uses that interface to communicate through Orca on Linux instead of relying on espeak.
