I think the state is that the basics are there and Orca for now is the screen 
reader of choice.

What is badly missing is actual testing now and there are very many rough 
edges, so don't expect smooth sailing yet. The Plasma team was very helpful in 
trying to fix issues and I assume they continue down that path when asked 
nicely!

Some notes are here, I think this todo board needs more additions and feedback 
though:

Cheers,
