Re: [orca-list] EFI3M more friendly for the blind and visually impaired

[bittukumar jaiswal <bittukjaiswal gmail com>]

Hello, Didier!
[I just uploaded an new version of EFI3M on GitHub:]
if you don't mine I have question that, where we can use this? or what
is the use of it?
please tell me.
I did this:
You can get it typing:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DidierSpaier/EFI3M/master/EFI3M

This will download the shell script EFI3M that should be run as root.
Now what I have to do? How can I use?
Ubuntu 18.04 with gnome
