<title>Orca Preferences</title>
<p>
Orca preferences allow you to customize functionality in <app>Orca</app>
which applies to all applications. An example of an Orca preference is
echo because echo is something that applies to all applications.
</p>
<p>
Note that Orca preferences can be customized on an application-by-application
basis. For instance you can set the default echo to words and then
set the echo for Pidgin to be none. Having done so, <app>Orca</app>
would always echo each word that you typed, unless you were in Pidgin.

<title>Application-Unique Preferences</title>
<p>
In contrast to Orca preferences, there are application-unique preferences.
These preferences allow you to customize <app>Orca</app> functionality
that only applies in certain environments, such as on web pages or in
chat applications. As a result, you will only find these options
available in the application-specific preferences dialogs and only for
those applications to which these options apply.
