Howdy Norman, This is another good reason to use Fenrir. There is a script you can run in /usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configurepulse.sh that will make it so you will have sound in the console. I'm not sure how easy it is to get Fenrir running on Ubuntu though, this may be the one drawback. Thanks, Storm On Mon, Jul 08, 2019 at 11:57:35AM -0400, Norman wrote:
Hi.

So which one do you use? And which distribution/version? Generally speaking, console based apps can benefit of console screen readers like speakup, fenrir or speechd-up that are intended to be used in a console, not in a graphical environment. Their availability depends on which distribution and version you use. However, from a quick look at the screenshots provided by the project I am not optimistic as a lot of information are displayed on sub-windows, including arrays between them and I don't know how a screen reader can present this information (I am sighted). Good luck, Didier On 7/6/19 8:03 PM, Norman wrote:Hello all.I sometimes need to use a terminal based program called sngrep to trace voip calls from my personal pbx. However, orca struggles with this program, it doesn't read everything and scrolling is a big issue. I was wondering, are there any helpful tips people have when using orca with console based programs? or would a second screen reader like speakup do better at this?I'd like to try speakup and find out but can't find any good docs on how to make it work.Can anyone help? _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html_______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html_______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html
