Gnopernicus is no longer actively developed and has been replaced by Orca in GNOME.

Gnopernicus is a "one-size-fits-all" screen reader that provided speech, Braille, and magnification for users with a range of visual impairments. Gnopernicus provided for user interface customization - including customizing the speech output and voices, customizing the keystroke commands to drive it, customizing the Braille display key input, and customizing the way magnification is rendered. It was also possible to edit the XML files that describe the speech and Braille output renderings.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Gnopernicus was bundled as the default screen reader on GNOME 2.4 on September 10, 2003;<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> however, the development of Gnopernicus was started in 2001.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Orca, with its radical different coding approach of making applications accessible, had more flexibility than the original Gnopernicus design and replaced it as the default screen reader in GNOME 2.16 in September 2006.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
