SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF in Okular that was installed using apt-get or the Ubuntu GUI
software installer. 
2. Locate Okular menu tools to read a page or full document. 
3. Click either "read page" or "read document"

OBSERVED RESULT
1. No audio. Check sound settings, sound is assigned to speakers. Try other
tool. No audio. 
2. Open Okular settings, Accessibility section.
3. Note that "mock" is the only option for speech engine, despite "speechd"
already being installed and running. 

EXPECTED RESULT
1. Okular speaks the text (full document or page only per command selected)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 20.04 
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please be kind to a disabled grad student who may not have correctly followed
all expected protocols for this bug report. I have a lot of PDFs to grok and it
would really help if Okular's speak text tool functioned.
