Example 1: Starting the screen reader with its graphical user interface, with speech and magnification modes
example% gnopernicus --enable-speech --enable-magnifier
Example 2: Starting the screen reader without its graphical user interface, with braille only, ouput to a VARIO40 device on port 1, in
"login mode". This command line would be suitable for login by a blind user during the gdm login process (seeman gdm)
example% srcore --enable-braille --braille-device VARIO40
--braille-port ttyS1 --login
