@sankum yeh, I don’t know.

speaker still exists
https://www.npmjs.com/package/speaker

the module was last updated 4 years ago, so who knows…

Thanks. But clearly something is outdated? Snippets of error messages below. Does not install. Is it simply old version or something can be done to salvage or anu other alternative? Thanks.

@sankum the working alternative no longer exists.

there is no author commitment to maintain their module contributions. if you care/want/can resurrect a module, more power to you.

Thanks. If I had the skills I certainly will endeavor to do so. So for now may not be able to use Voice after all.
What would be another way to see future months in the Calendar when it is set as a display, say on the wall? Using mouse? Thanks.

@sankum i use mmm-pages, and 3 instances of MMM-Calendarext3 one for current month, next and after.

some have added swipe to that, so you can wave a hand, with the right sensor

page-indicator module can give you on screen buttons for direct page access too (assuming you have touch support, built in or ir frane)
