I got no question when running fenrir-conf about which key to bind to the
fenrir key. I'll do some more reading and figure what to put in the
desktop.conf file to get that working. On Fri, 4 Aug 2017, Linux for

Subject: Re: fenrir setup?
Howdy,
insert-h to get help up and that doesn't work. super-h doesn't work and
even kp(insert)-h doesn't work. (keypad)8 plays a couple different
sounds depending on number of times it is pressed it appears to toggle
those sounds.
I cannot see this. You can bind whatever key you want as fenrir key. It sound more like an wrong setup i bet to an old python-evdev version.
It's just that fenrir introduces keyboard latency.
This is fixed fore some weeks now since i bring fenrir to an event based and multiprocess structure.
What surprised me
though is I have speech-dispatcher installed on this system and fenrir
did not use that synthesizer as its default even though
Fenrir does use speech-dispacher as default but did not use the defaults of speech-dispacher. It has its own settings to tell speech-dispacher what TTS needs to be used. But when running pulse and speech-dispacher it needs some special setup to configure speech-dispacher for root (as what fenrir is running )pulse to forewart the sound to the user.
Cheers Chrys
Hm speechd-el, sure i dont stop someone to use a software that got about 10 commits in seven years or try to create a good new maintained one. Sure it has bugs but without knowledge of them i cannot fix it. Or we come to the conclusion we dont need another screenreader and i will better spent my sparetime at the bar ;).

Originally I was thinking speakup and fenrir were fighting until
checking contents of /etc/fenrir/settings/ out but that's not the case.

though is I have speech-dispatcher installed on this system and fenrir
did not use that synthesizer as its default even though
speech-dispatcher got installed before fenrir. Speech-dispatcher speaks
nicely when first started but as keys are typed speech quality degrades
fast to the point where many parts of many words do not get spoken. But
then all of this could be because speech-dispatcher needs configuring.
I downloaded voices for speech-dispatcher and unpacked them and need to
read some more of what I can find on the web pages to get a default
speech-dispatcher voice selected. I want to do that since that probably
helps me get speechd-el working inside emacs too.

Can speakup be turned off once fenrir starts? I got the fenrir-git aur
package installed and apparently running on this system a little earlier
today.
