No, there isn't such a option IMHO. But maybe the following works:

1. Press Alt+F2 to run a command.
2. Insert the following:

orca -r --speech-system speechdispatcherfactory

Orca stores all preferences for a user in the ~/.local/share/orca
directory. If you want to reset Orca to its defaults just remove this
directory, press Alt+F2 and insert

orca -r

If this should be done automaticaly and without a running screen reader just write a little script and  configure a keyboard shortcut to run this script if its necessary from every where in Mate.


Ciao,
