Fenrir

A TTY screenreader for Linux. In theory it's not just limited to Linux. but i currently only provide drivers for that since I do not have another system here. If you want to help, or write drivers to make it work on other systems, just let me know. This software is licensed under the LGPL v3 .

  • Linux (currently only screen and input drivers available)
  • python3 >= 3.3
  • python-configargparse
  • screen, input, speech, sound or braille drivers see "Features, Drivers, Extras".

  • loaded uinput kernel module
  • ReadWrite permission
    • /dev/input
    • /dev/uinput
  1. "ptyDriver" terminal emulation input driver

  • python-pyte
  1. "dummyDriver" just a dummy

Speech Drivers:

  1. "genericDriver" (default) sound driver for sound as subprocess:
  • espeak or espeak-ng
  1. "espeakDriver" speech driver for Espeak or Espeak-NG:
  • python-espeak
  1. "speechdDriver" speech driver for Speech-dispatcher:
  • Speech-dispatcher
  • python-speechd
  1. "dummyDriver" no speech
  2. "debugDriver" speech driver for debugging

Braille Drivers:

  1. "BrlttyDriver" braille driver (WIP):
  • brltty (configured and running)
  • python-brlapi
  1. "dummyDriver" (default) no braille
  2. "debugDriver" Braille driver for debugging

Sound Drivers:

  1. "genericDriver" (default) sound driver for sound as subprocess:
  • Sox
  1. "gstreamerDriver" sound driver for gstreamer
  • gstreamer >=1.0
  • GLib
  1. "dummyDriver" no sound
  2. "debugDriver" sound driver for debugging

  1. spellchecker
  • python-pyenchant
  • aspell-YourLanguageCode (example aspell-en for us English)
  1. Unix daemon (also needed for Systemd):
  • python-daemonize

installation

  • Archlinux: PKGBUILD in AUR
  • Manual: run install.sh and uninstall.sh as root
  • you also can just run it from Git without installing: You can just run the following as root: if you are in Fenrir Git rootfolder: cd src/fenrir/ sudo ./fenrir Settings "settings.conf" is located in the "config" directory or after installation in /etc/fenrir/settings. Take care to use drivers from the config matching your installed drivers. By default it uses:
  • sound driver: genericDriver (via sox, could configured in settings.conf)
  • speech driver: genericDriver (via espeak or espeak-ng, could configured in settings.conf)
  • braille driver: brlttyDriver (WIP)
  • input driver: evdevDriver
