Excellent!
Thanks a lot for this report.

I've just tried and it worked for me: 5-10 seconds after pressing this
keyboard shortcut, I hear "screen reader on". So I wonder what's
happening on your side. It might be a problem with the sound card
drivers, or with the mixer volume, or the known bug that sometimes
prevents GNOME Shell from starting in the Greeter.
If you can get 10 minutes of help, it would be great if someone could:
* check if the GNOME Shell top bar is displayed: this would allow us
to check if it's a bug specific to Orca or a more general Greeter
bug;
* cook a customized version of the "Keyboard shortcuts" method from
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/accessibility/, with the
exact number of arrow key presses for you to start Orca from the
universal access menu: this would allow us to check if it's
a problem with the keyboard shortcut only, or with something else.
Note that even once Orca will have started, a few remaining issues
could be either painful or blocking:
* Greeter accessibility settings are not forwarded to the GNOME
session (
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12384) so one has to
enable Orca again once logged in.
* Not everything is read by Orca in the Greeter, due to widgets not
being tagged properly (
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11664).
> Do I make a mistake with the "super" key? Is not it the Windows key?
Yes, on my computer it's the Windows key.
Also, I'm using the left Alt key in Alt+Super+S.
