    Run this in a terminal:

    change NoDisplay=true to 

    NoDisplay=false

    Save, then open up Startup Applications and disable the entry for Orca.

  2. For Ubuntu 13.10, open "Universal Access" and turn off screen reader

    The "Seeing" tab is the default and includes this option

  3. Use Ctrl + S to disable Orca. It will stop and won't bother you at next logon.
