    <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.
