Fenrir User Manual

       Fenrir is a modern command line screen reader written in Python3.

       It has a modular structure, a flexible based driver model, is highly configurable and easy
       to customize and extend (see Developer Manual (fenrir_development_manual)).

       Please  see  the  following  pages  for  the  current  (fenrir_current_version)  and   Git
       (fenrir_git_version) version of Fenrir.

Support and Requirements

       Fenrir requires several drivers to interact with the operating system.

   Speech Drivers
       A speech driver is for communication with the text to speech system like Speech-Dispatcher
       (#SpeechDispatcher) or  Espeak  (http://espeak.sourceforge.net).   \  See  section  Speech
       (#Speech) in ''settings.conf'' for more information.

   SpeechDispatcher
       This driver is used by default.  It uses Speech-dispatcher as its backend.

       Dependencies:

       • Speech-dispatcher         (installed         and        configured,        Documentation
         (https///devel.freebsoft.org/speechd#sec2))

       • Python-speechd

   Espeak
       Uses Espeak via Python bindings.

       Dependencies:

       • Espeak or Espeak-ng

       • python-espeak (https///launchpad.net/python-espeak)

   Generic
       This invokes speech via a sub-process.  This is almost the same as using the  commandline.
       The  performance  depends  on  the  overhead of the speech synthesis application but it is
       really flexible.

       Dependencies:

       • Espeak or Espeak-ng

       The Requirements are flexible, they depend on the configuration in settings.conf.

   Dummy
       this is just for debugging, logs are output to the screen and logged as well.

   Sound Drivers
       To play sound icons and similar.\ See section Sound (#Sound) in ''settings.conf'' for more
       information.

   Generic
       This driver is used by default.

       Dependencies:

       • Sox  (http://sox.sourceforge.net/) with opus support The Requirements are flexible, they
         depend on the configuration in settings.conf.

   Gstreamer
       if you prefer to use Gstreamer for sound output.

       Dependencies:

       • Gstreamer >= 1.x

       • Glibc

   Dummy
       this is just for debugging, logs are output to the screen and logged as well.

   Input Drivers
       Input drivers are to capture keyboard shortcuts issued to the screen reader
       See section Keyboard (#Keyboard) in ''settings.conf'' for more information.

   Evdev
       This driver is used by default.

       Evdev is the low level input device framework for Linux.

       Dependencies:

       • python-evdev >=0.6.3

       • pyudev

       • loaded uinput kernel module

       • exclusive access to the input  devices  Read  permission  to  the  following  files  and
         services:

       • /dev/input

       • /dev/uinput

   Screen Drivers
       The  job  of  a  screen  driver  is to get the information of current screen content.\ See
       section Screen (#Screen) in ''settings.conf'' for more information.

   VCSA
       This driver is used by default.  For Linux VCSA  devices.   These  exist  on  any  current
       standard installation of Linux.

       Dependencie s:

       • python-dbus Read permission to the following files and services (or run as root):

       • /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty0/active

       • /dev/tty[1 - 64]

       • /dev/vcsa[1 - 64] (VCSA manpage (https///linux.die.net/man/4/vcsa))

       • read Logind DBUS

   Braille Drivers
       This  is  for Braille support.  Braille is currently a work in progress and is planned for
       the Fenrir 2.0 release.\ See section Braille  (#Braille)  in  ''settings.conf''  for  more
       information.

   BRLTTY
       This  driver  is  used  by  default.   It  uses BrlTTY (brltty) to communicate with with a
       Braille device.

       Dependencies:

       • BrlTTY  (configured  and  running,  Documentation   (http://mielke.cc/brltty/doc/Manual-
         BRLTTY/English/BRLTTY.html))

       • python-brlapi     (configured,     Documentation    (http://mielke.cc/brltty/doc/Manual-
         BrlAPI/English/BrlAPI.html)) ## Currently supported platforms

       Currently Fenrir completely supports the following Platforms:

       • Linux TTY Support for further Systems are planned.

Installation

       Fenrir can run without installation.  It just  requires  the  dependencies  are  installed
       first.

       We  recommend  to  try  it out before installation to be sure everything works and prevent
       yourself from experiencing a non-talking environment.

   Try Out
       Fenrir does not require installation.  You can try  it  and  make  sure  everything  works
       before  you  decide to install.  In this way you can be sure that your system doesnt break
       or  stop  talking.   for  that  you  can  just   grab   the   code   and   run   as   root
       ''src/fenrir/fenrir'' (in foreground) or ''src/fenrir/fenrir-daemon'' (in background, used
       by systemd for autostart)

   Install it
   Documented operating systems
   Arch Linux
       For Arch there are PKGBUILDs in the AUR:

       • fenrir (https///aur.archlinux.org/packages/fenrir/)

       • fenrir-git (https///aur.archlinux.org/packages/fenrir-git/)

   Manual
       1. Download  the  latest  stable   version   from   the   Fenrir-Project   (https///linux-
          a11y.org/index.php?page=fenrir-screenreader) site.

       2. Unpack the archive

       3. Check      the      needed      Dependencys     by     running     check-dependencys.py
          (https///github.com/chrys87/fenrir/blob/master/check-dependencies.py) script

       4. install the missing dependencies an standard installation requires the following:

           • python3 >= 3.3 (and all the following is needed for python3 )

           • python3-speechd (screen)

           • python3-dbus (screen)

           • python3-evdev >= 0.6.4(input)

           • python3-daemonize (background service)

           • python3-brlapi (braille)

           • python3-pyenchant (spellchecker)

           • your language for aspell (aspell-<lang>) (spellchecker)

           • sox (sound)

           • For  an  individual  installation  see  Support  and  Requirements   (#Support   and
             Requirements)              or             consult             the             Readme
             (https///github.com/chrys87/fenrir/blob/master/README.md))

       5. run "install.sh" as root

       this installs Fenrir as the following

              * Application:''/opt/fenrir''
              * Settings:''/etc/fenrir''
              * Sound Icons:''/usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/''

       to remove Fenrir just run uninstall.sh as root

   Git
       if you want to get the latest code you can use git to get a development snapshot:

              git clone https://github.com/chrys87/fenrir.git

   Auto Start
       To start Fenrir once: systemctl start fenrir

       To enable auto start on system boot: systemctl enable fenrir

First Steps

       If you are using Fenrir for the first time you may want to take a look at these resources:

       • Keybindings (#Keybindings)

       • Tutorial Mode (#Tutorial Mode)

Features

   Commands
   Keybindings
       Normal commands can be invoked in two ways: 1.  Using a Metakey (FenrirKey (#Fenrir  Key))
       2.  Shortcuts with a single key

       See  section  Keyboard (#Keyboard) in ''settings.conf'' for more information.  #### Fenrir
       Key

       The Fenrir Key is for invoking screen reader commands.  Fenrir can utilize more  than  one
       FenrirKey at the same time.  By default the following keys are used: 1.  Insert 2.  KeyPad
       Insert 3.  Meta (Super, Windows)

   Script Key
       To invoke "Scripts" the Script Key is mandatory.  The shortcut is encoded in the  filename
       of the script.  See Scripting (#Scripting) #### Desktop Layout

       Fenrir  provides  a  virtual  cursor, with it you can navigate all over the screen without
       changing the text cursor.

       Using the review feature will open the review mode automatically.

       The review cursor always starts from the text cursor.  Attention: after using  the  review
       mode, the review cursor will stay open until you use the ''exit review'' shortcut.

       Think  when  using clipboard operations and similar.  The review cursor is always prefered
       over the text cursor.

       Fenrir sounds a bell sound if the used review command jumps to  another  line  or  end  of
       screen.  #### exit review

       ### Handling marking

       A mark defines a point of origin or end to prepare to copy or paste a block  of  text.   \
       Examples where you need marks are:

       • copy to clipboard

       • set window application

       • set bookmark 1 - X #### Set mark

       How  to set a mark: 1.  navigate with review or textcursor to the position you want to set
       the mark.  Attention: if a review cursor is set, that is the prefered.  If you want to use
       text cursor, be sure that you are not in review mode.  2.  press shortcut for ''set mark''
       you can set two marks (begin and end).  Some commands allow  some  simpler  usecases  just
       using  the  whole  line  if only one mark is set.  you may want to try this out.  #### Get
       text between marks

       To get the text that is currently between your marks press shortcut for ''marked  text''.\
       #### Remove Marks

       You  can remove all current marks by pressing the shortcut for ''remove marks''.  Changing
       the screen also removes the marks.  ### Screen Interaction

       Fenrir provides several methods  to  interact  with  the  current  screen.   ####  forward
       keypress

       This just forwards the next shortcut to the screen Fenrir shortcut or not.  This is useful
       if the currently pressed shortcut is also in use by Fenrir.  #### Clipboard

       Fenrir provides a clipboard with multible items  represented  by  a  list.   You  navigate
       throught the list and paste the selected clipboard.  ##### copy marked to clipboard

       To copy something to the clipboard you need to set one or two marks.  if you set one mark,
       the text between the mark and your current cursor is copied  to  clipboard.   Setting  two
       marks just copies the text between the marks into the clipboard.  If you copy something it
       is always placed as the first item on your clipboard.  ##### clear clipboard

       You can remove all items from the current clipboard by ''clear clipboard''  functionality.
       ##### first clipboard

       This moves quick to the first item of the clipboard.  ##### last clipboard

       This moves quick to the last item of the clipboard.  ##### previous clipboard

       Go to previous item in the clipboard.  ##### next clipboard

       Go to next item on the clipboard.  ##### read current clipboard

       Read the content of the current item of the clipboard.  ##### paste clipboard

       Pass  whatever item is currently selected by first, last, prev or next clipboard commands.
       if no special clipboard is selected the (last copied) is used.  ##### export clipboard  to
       file

       This  allows  you  to  export  the  current clipboard to a configurable filepath.  This is
       useful to share the clipboard with a graphical desktop.  ##### import clipboard from file

       ''settings.conf'' for more information.  #### Cursor Tracking

       This follows the text cursor.  This is the typical way an application works.  This is used

       • vim

       • nano

       • emacs

       area.  By default Fenrir provides 10  bookmarks.   Those  can  be  set  and  accessed  via
       shortcut.   This  is  useful for status lines or other information where the position does
       not change.  ##### set Bookmark X

   Emoticons
       If you want to replace ":)" emoticons with "smile" in speech you can use this feature.  It
       can  be  toggled on or off.  You can define emoticons in a dictionary, please see Emoticon
       Dictionary.  See section General (#General) in ''settings.conf'' to see how to  enable  or
       disable this feature.

   Time
       Announce  the  time  at periodical increments, To track the time easily.  You can define 2
       different ways of time announcements.  1.  periodic 2.  on fix minutes

       Example periodic, every 20 minutes "delaySec=20":

              [time]
              enabled=True
              presentTime=True
              presentDate=True
              delaySec=20
              onMinutes=
              announce=True
              interrupt=False

       Example  on  fix  minutes  in  an  hour.    example   every   quarter   "delaySec=0"   and
       "onMinutes=00,15,30,45":

              [time]
              enabled=True
              presentTime=True
              presentDate=True
              #delaySec is repected bevore onMinutes so it need to be set to 0
              delaySec=0
              onMinutes=00,15,30,45
              announce=True
              interrupt=False

   Promoted List
       Promoted  Lists  are  a nice feature if you are away from your computer or performing more
       longer tasks.  you can define a list of words which you want to  hear  a  sound  icon  for
       after  a  period  of inactivity.  Example if the word "Chrys" appears after 120 Seconds of
       inactivity: [promote] enabled=True
       inactiveTimeoutSec=120 list=Chrys See section Promote (#Promote) in ''settings.conf''  for
       more information.  ### Punctuation

       Fenrir handles punctuation levels and names for you with several provided dictionaries.

       See levelDict See punctuationDict ## Braille

       Fenrir  provides  Braille  support  in  Version >= 2.0.  See section Braille (#Braille) in
       ''settings.conf'' for more information.  ### braille flush

       If a message appears on the Braille device you can flush it to get back to the review-  or
       system cursor ### Braille pan left

       If  a  line  is longer than your Braille devices you can move the view (called panning) to
       the left.  So you can read stuff without the need to move the review-  or  system  cursor.
       ### Braille pan right

       If  a  line  is longer than your Braille devices you can move the view (called panning) to
       the right.  So you can read stuff without the need to move the review- or  system  cursor.
       ### braille return to cursor

       When you have finished reading the line on the Braille device using panning, the focus can
       be returned to the current used cursor by using "return to cursor" command.  ## Dictionary

       You can make use of different kinds of built-in dictionary's.  A dictionary has a name and
       list  of  keys and values separated by :===: Example: [customDict] Chrys:===:Chrys is cool
       lollipop:===:lolli that means that every instance "chrys" is displayed,  speech  will  say
       Chrys is cool.  "lollipop" is spoken as "lolli".  Before making changes to a dictionary we
       recommend making a backup of your current dictionary in case future updates overwrite your
       local changes.  ### Punctuation

   Level
       The punctuation level dict contains lists with "what punctuation is spoken in what level".
       the   default   one   looks   like   this:   [levelDict]   none:===:   some:===:.-$~+*-/\@
       most:===:.,:-$~+*-/@!#%^&()[]}{<>;   all:===:!"#$%&  '()+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~  the  level
       "none" has no values.  so it should not speak any punctuation (sadly this is not respected
       by  every  TTS  system)  if "some" is the current level the following are spoken: dot dash
       dollar tilde plus star slash backslash at.  same for most and all, you can add new levels.
       if you cycle punctuation levels they are recognized.  the default punctuation level is set
       in settings.conf.  The default is "some".  #### Punctuation

       The punctuation dictionary "[punctDict]" contains how the punctuation is spoken.  Example:
       [punctDict] :===:line
       speaks an  as "line".
       [punctDict] :===:underscore speaks an  as underscore.  for question mark an ?  is appended
       to the word that the TTS system can announce the question correctly.
       ### Custom

       The dict "[customDict]" is just for your own use, it just replace the key with  the  value
       without  any  special  functionality.  This might be used to fix incorrectly spoken words,
       make words more common, shorter or just for fun.  :) ### Emoticons

       The Emoticons dictionary "[emoticonDict]" by default  contains  some  emoticons.   it  can
       replace  ":)" with "smile" or "XD" with "loool" Making chat more colorful.  A nice feature
       with this dictionary is that you can toggle the substitution on or off during run time  or
       in  settings.conf.   This  is useful because while doing programming or other serious work
       you want to hear colons and perryns not smiles.  # Configuration

       You can configure Fenrir in the following places (ordered by  priority):  1.   Commandline
       Parameters    ''-o''    see    Set   settings   coption   (#Set   settings   coption)   2.
       /etc/fenrir/settings/settings.conf        see        Settigns        (#Settings)        3.
       <sourceTree>/config/settings/settings.conf   see   Settigns  (#Settings)  4.   hard  coded
       defaults ## Commandline Arguments

   Set settings option
       You can specify  options  that  overwrite  the  setting.conf.   This  is  done  with  ''-o
       <list of options>  parameter.   The  list  of  options have the following syntax fenrir -o
       "section#setting=value;section#setting=value"

       For example changing the sound driver to gstreamer and disabling Braille
       fenrir -o "sound#driver=gstreamerDriver;braille#enabled=False=False" or change  the  debug
       level  to verbose fenrir -o "general#debugLevel=3" You can find the available sections and
       variables here <#Settings> See Syntax #settings.conf syntax  (#settings.conf  syntax)  ###
       settings.conf syntax

       the syntax of the settings.conf (#Settings) is quite simple and similar to a "*.ini" file,
       there are 4 different elements.  1.  Sections 2.  Settings 3.  Values 4.  Comments

       A comment starts with a # and is ignored by Fenrir.  # this is a comment To group settings
       we  have  sections.   A  section  can look like this: [Section] A setting looks like this:
       settingName=Value

       Example: sound (#sound) # Turn sound on or off: enabled=True # Select the driver  used  to
       play   sounds,   choices  are  genericDriver  and  gstreamerDriver.   #  Sox  is  default.
       driver=genericDriver

   Settings
   Sound
       The sound is configured in section ''sound (#sound)''.

       Turn sound on or off: enabled=True Values: on=''True'', off=''False''

       Select the driver used to play sounds.  The genericDriver using Sox is the default.

              driver=genericDriver

       Available Drivers:

       • ''genericDriver'' using the generic driver, for Fenrir <1.5 just use ''generic''

       • ''gstreamerDriver'' using the gstreamer, for Fenrir <1.5 just use ''gstreamer''

       These are the pack of sounds used for sound icons.  theme=default By default we  ship  two
       sound packs.  1.  ''default'' opus encoded, for newer Sox versions 2.  ''default-wav'' wav
       encoded,     just     for     compatibility     Sound     packs     are     located     at
       /usr/share/sounds/fenrirscreenreader/

       Sound  volume  controls  how loud the sounds for your selected sound pack are.  volume=1.0
       Values: ''0.0'' is quietest, ''1.0'' is loudest.

   Generic Driver
       The generic sound driver uses shell commands for play sound and frequencies.

       ''genericPlayFileCommand'' defines the  command  that  is  used  to  play  a  sound  file.
       genericPlayFileCommand=<your command for playing a file>       ''genericFrequencyCommand''
       defines      the      command      that      is      used       playing       frequencies.
       genericFrequencyCommand=<your command for playing a frequence>

       The    following    variables    are   substituted   in   ''genericPlayFileCommand''   and
       ''genericFrequencyCommand'':

       • ''fenrirVolume'' = the current volume setting

       • ''fenrirSoundFile'' = the sound file for an sound icon

       • ''fenrirFrequence'' = the frequency to play

       • ''fenrirDuration'' = the duration of the frequency

       Example genericPlayFileCommand (default) genericPlayFileCommand=play  -q  -v  fenrirVolume
       fenrirSoundFile  Example genericFrequencyCommand (default) genericFrequencyCommand=play -q
       -v fenrirVolume -n -c1 synth fenrirDuration sine fenrirFrequence ### Speech

       Speech is configured in section ''[speech]''.  Turn speech on or off: enabled=True Values:
       on=''True'', off=''False''

Select speech driver, options are speechdDriver (default),

       genericDriver or espeakDriver:

       driver=speechdDriver #driver=espeakDriver

driver=genericDriver

       Select the driver used to generate speech output.

              driver=speechdDriver

       Available Drivers:

       • ''genericDriver'' using the generic driver, for Fenrir <1.5 this is not available

       • ''speechdDriver'' using speech-dispatcher, for Fenrir <1.5 just use ''speechd''

       • ''espeakDriver'' using the espeak directly, for Fenrir <1.5 just use ''espeak''

       The  rate  selects how fast Fenrir will speak.  rate=0.65 Values: Range Minimum:''0.0'' is
       slowest, Maximum:''1.0'' is fastest.

       Pitch controls the pitch of the voice.  pitch=0.5 Values: Range Minimum:''0.0'' is lowest,
       Maximum:''1.0'' is highest.

       A Pitch for capital letters can be set.  capitalPitch=0.9 Values: Range Minimum:''0.0'' is
       lowest, Maximum:''1.0'' is highest.

       The Volume controls the loudness of the voice.  volume=1.0 Values:  Range  Minimum:''0.0''
       is quietest, Maximum:''1.0'' is loudest.

       Some  speech  drivers  like  speechdDriver  can support various modules.  these can be set
       here.  module=espeak Values: Text, Consult speech-dispatcher's configuration to  see  what
       modules are available.

       Voice selects the varient you want to use, for example, f5 will use the female voice #5 in
       Espeak, or if using the Espeak module in Speech-dispatcher.  To find out which voices  are
       available,  consult  the  documentation  provided  with your selected synthesizer.  voice=
       Values: Text, see your TTS synths documentation what is available.

       Select the language you want Fenrir to use.  language=english-us Values:  Text,  see  your
       TTS synths documentation what is available.

       Read new text as it occurs autoReadIncoming=True Values: on=''True'', off=''False''

   Generic Driver
       The generic speech driver uses shell commands for speech synthisus.

       ''genericSpeechCommand''  defines  the  command  that  is executed for creating speech The
       following variables are substituted in ''genericSpeechCommand'':

       • ''FenrirText'' = is the text that should be spoken

       • ''fenrirModule'' = may be the speech module like used in  speech-dispatcher,  not  every
         TTY needs this

       • ''fenrirLanguage'' = the language to speak in

       • ''fenrirVoice'' = is the current voice that should be used

       • ''fenrirVolume'' = is replaced with the current volume

       • ''fenrirPitch'' = is replaced with the current pitch

       • ''fenrirRate'' = is replaced with the current speed (speech rate)

       Example  genericSpeechCommand  (default):  genericSpeechCommand=espeak  -a fenrirVolume -s
       fenrirRate -p fenrirPitch -v fenrirVoice "fenrirText"

       These are the minimum and maximum values of the TTS system used  in  genericSpeechCommand.
       They are needed to calculate the abstract range in volume, rate and pitch 0.0 - 1.0.

              FenrirMinVolume=0
              fenrirMaxVolume=200
              fenrirMinPitch=0
              fenrirMaxPitch=99
              fenrirMinRate=80
              fenrirMaxRate=450

       The   current   volume,   pitch   and   rate  is  calculated  like  this  value  =  min  +
       [volume,pitch,rate] * (min - max ) ### Braille

       Braille is a WIP and not  ready  yet.   Braille  support  can  be  configured  in  section
       ''[braille]''.

   Scripting
       Scripts can be in any language, bash, python, sh or others.  Place  your  scripts  in  the
       directory    /usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/scripts/   (the   path   is   configurable   in
       settings.conf).  The script key is the applications key.  Usually this key can be found on
       the keyboard located just left of the right most control key.  When you name a script, the
       key name appears in the script seperated by the sequence -.  So, for example, if you  have
       a  python  weather  script you want assigned to the script key plus the letter w you would
       name the script /usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/scripts/weather__-__key_w.py Then, to access
       the  script,  simply  press  the script key and the letter w.  Scripts must be executable.
       So, make sure to chmod 755 your script when you place it in the  scripts  directory.   The
       script  gets  some  parameters  from  fenrir  when it is executed.  So that information is
       available in your script then.

   Parameterlist
       Parameter   Content
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────
       $1          Username of the  current  logged
                   in user

   Examples
       Script  that  just  speaks  the  current  username  when  pressing  ScriptKey  + H.\ File:
       ''/usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/scripts/helloWorld__-__key_h.sh'': #!/bin/bash echo $1

   Commands
       You can place your  own  commands  in  "/usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/commands"  (path  is
       configurable in settings.conf).  Commands are python files with a special scheme.  You can
       assign them to a shortcut using the filename without an extension or place them in a  hook
       trigger  like  OnInput  or  OnScreenChange.   For further information see developer guide.
       Good                                  Examples:                                  "date.py"
       (https///github.com/chrys87/fenrir/blob/master/src/fenrir/commands/commands/date.py)
       (announce                    the                    Date),                    "shut_up.py"
       (https///github.com/chrys87/fenrir/blob/master/src/fenrir/commands/commands/shut_up.py)
       (interrupt output) the basic scheme for a command is as follows:

              from core import debug

              class command():

       • Template                                   lives                                    here

       • The class needs to have the name "command".

       • "initialize" is running once whilst loading the command.

       • "shutdown" is running on unload like the command (quit fenrir)

       • "getDescriptsion" just returns an string.  That String is used in Tutorial Mode.

       • "run"  is  executed when the command is invoked.  (shortcut is pressed, or trigger isn't
         running)

       • setCAllback is currently not used.  and has no functionality yet.

Troubleshooting

   Fenrir does not start
        1. Have you installed  all  the  dependencies  Support  and  Requirements  (#Support  and
           Requirements)

        2. Try  using  master,  a  lot of changes take place there to make Fenrir compatible with
           more systems ## Fenrir does not utilize the shortcuts

        3. Make sure you have python3-evdev installed

        4. Use the latest Fenrir version

        5. Make sure that Fenrir has permission to /dev/input/* and /dev/uinput  (or  run  it  as
           root) ## No sound at all

        6. Run  the script to configure Pulseaudio once as root and once as your user.  This will
           setup Pulseaudio but require a restart  of  Pulseaudio.   The  script  is  located  in
           ''tools/configure_pulse.sh''

        7. Use ALSA

        8. Configure                     Pulse                     system                    wide
           (https///www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/SystemWide/)
           (Not recommended)

        9. Use  gstreamerDriver:  change  ''settings.conf''  in  the  section  ''sound'' the line
           ''driver=genericDriver'' to ''driver=gstreamerDriver''

       10. Use wave sound-icons: change ''settings.conf''  in  the  section  ''sound''  the  line
           ''theme=default'' to ''theme=default-wav''

       11. Use most current version of sox (http://sox.sourceforge.net/) with opus support

       12. Try  apulse (https///github.com/i-rinat/apulse) (not tested by myself but might work).
           Please give me feedback if you try it out.  ## You get sound-icons but no speech

       13. If you are using speech-dispatcher run "spd-conf" once as user and as root.

       14. You can test if speech-dispatcher works by invoking it as root\ ''sudo spd-say  "hello
           world"'' ## Bugreports and feature requests
