Who did the Oceanic Preservation Society and The Orca Project write letters to ?
The name Orca , which is another term for a killer whale , is a nod to the long - standing tradition of naming screen readers after aquatic creatures , including the Assistive Technology product on Windows called JAWS ( which stands for Job Access With Speech ) , the early DOS screen reader called Flipper , and the UK vision impairment company Dolphin Computer Access .
