This shows a person using Orca on Plasma Mobile on a Linux phone. However, he is using TAP to explore and not using the right and left flick gestures. So I have asked if it works with those.

If it is limited to tap to explore, then I'm not certain a fully blind user could use it properly, but a person with some amount of sight could use it.

This is the first time I have seen a screen reader working on a Linux phone at all though, so that is a serious improvement.

Edit: According to them, flick gestures do not currently work, but they will see if it can be added.
