Can't input after starting Fenrir

[smythp]

Hi, I'mn attempting to install Fenrir. I've gone through an installed dependencies, run the pulseaudio script as normal user and root, and run the install script. When I check dependenceis using the script, I get these:

python3-brlapi: FAIL
python3-speechd: FAIL
python3-espeak: FAIL

I'm on Ubuntu and python3-speechd is version 0.9.1-4. python3-espeak is 0.5-2. I'm not using braille.

When I start fenrir, I get the starting sound, but then can enter no input and hear nothing until cancelling the process with Control-c, when I get the exit sound. When I disable sound effects, I get a "start fenrir" and "quit fenrir" message. I'm using gnome-terminal on Ubuntu 20 LTS. Any guidance from here on getting fenrir working would be appreciated .

Is this project still active? What are folks using for a screen reader in 2024?

Yes, still active, used by lots. It is primary CLI screen reader for a few distros.

OK, might try getting it working again, I've been using tdsr.
