I am running ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS and am running Fenrir
successfully.
Once you have all dependencies installed, the trick to get
speech working for me in the console, was to run Fenrir with sudo.
You can run the following from a graphical terminal and then
swtich to a console with Control+AltFF1 through F6:
sudo fenrir
I am still working on running Fenrir without needing sudo and
have also had some success using Fenrir with the 'e' option. This
allows Fenrir to run in the graphical terminal.
Running sudo fenrir-daemon also runs Fenrrir as a background
process, allowing you to use your terminal for other things while
Fenrir is running. Just remember to turn off Orca when in the
terminal.

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

Hello Norman,
The ability of Orca to to read aloud what's displayed on a
terminal
mostly depends on which terminal is used.
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

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?
