Jovie is not a screen reader. It is only useful to speak notifications from
clock, etc. It has been completely replaced by QtSpeech in Qt5 based KDE
applications and Plasma. Jovie will not be ported to Qt5 since QtSpeech
does everything (mostly) that Jovie did. Orca is the recommended screen
reader on plasma systems.
Hope that helps,
Jeremy Whiting
