I'm a visually impaired Linux/Ubuntu newbie. I've installed 12.04 from a live CD and have the Orca screen reader running at start up. Speech works fine but there is no magnification. When I open Orca preferences there is no magnification tab.

I am a visually impaired computer users and would like to switch to Ubuntu 12.04 from Windows 7. However, i noticed that Orca isn't always accessible when using some programmes like Audacity. Sometimes, Orca says 'inaccessible' when i launch certain programmes. What can I do to improve the accessibility of Orca? Any help would be appreciated!
Orca has been crashing a lot lately.. and I don't know how to restart it. Is there any way to do this from the command line?
I cannot find Orca anywhere in the main menu.
