Yes, because orca eats the key presses.

If orca, lsr, gnopernicus, etc. screen readers are ready to implement
this, why not of course. But as I said, synthesizing key presses is not
that trivial, so that's why I implemented it for everybody in a generic
program.
Note: as I said, the "start one, and then another" issue WILL be fixed,
so there is no need to develop hacks for tackling this issue.
