I think I managed to break fenrir.
background:
I removed fenrir-git from system on archlinux to get a known state
situation.
I ran as root pip3 install fenrir-screenreader
I ran as user /usr/share/fenrir/tools/configure-pulse.sh
I ran as root /usr/share/fenrir/tools/configure-pulse.sh
I ran as user /usr/share/fenrir/tools/config-fenrir
as user after having restarted the system I ran fenrir.

looks all good so far but fenrir needss to be running as root currently
not as user (it needs permissions to uinput to grab input and /dev/vcsaX).
i also do currently not recomment config-fenrir since it get not that
love that it should. you should change the settings in /etc/fenrir with
an text editor. this works quite well :).
did you install speech-dispatcher, sox and espeak?
cheers chrys

Howdy,
First, sorry for the long response time. things are a bit crazy around here with the holiday stuff going on.
You are making things more complex than they need to be with Arch. I would recommend running the git branch, but the stable should work just as well. The git branch is updated quite often of course, and you will have the latest features and bug fixes. So, to install it, simplay use your favorite AUR helper to install fenrir-git.
You have already ran the pulse configuration tool, so you shouldn't need to do that again. You may want to run sudo spd-conf and set up a root user speech-dispatcher though. Then, start fenrir using systemd:
sudo systemctl start fenrir
The default settings can be changed in /etc/fenrir/settings/settings.conf. As a final note, I think we are going to be switching away from speech-dispatcher as the primary speech provider. There is a generic speech driver that seems to be more stable and provide better support with less configuration. Of course, speech-dispatcher will still be available as an option, just not the default.

Did I run things in the wrong order?
both speechdispatcher and espeak work as well as festival and flite on this system however espeak "test" fails with multiple alsa errors.
