Hi, Ann: Glad to hear you're doing a FAQ for speakup. I would like to make several suggestions: 1.) I recommend creating the FAQ in html. That waym, the questions included can be listed at the top as hyperlinks, but these can be pound anchors (#) so that the document can still be read from top to bottom easily; 2.) I think some of the questions you propose can be consolidated. I will indicate those below where I've quoted your message; 3.) I think there are some additional points that come up often enough that they should get addressed. These include: Using speakup--a brief tour of the functionality in the numeric keypad and also a brief tour of /proc/speakup; It seems most common these days that people do not install speakup on an existing linux computer. Rather, they deal with installing speakup and linusx at the same time. Thus, I would softpedal any discussion of "what distro is best?" Rather I would name the several options and discuss the ways one can install both speakup and linux at the same time--i.e. the various canned distributions already enabled with speakup; Lastly, I would include a list of the speakup keywords such as dectlk ltlk etc for use in the speakup_ser=ltlk and speakup_synth=1 situations. These don't seem to be documented anywhere. On Fri, 1 Jun 2001, Ann Parsons wrote: > Hi all, > > Some or all of you may know me. I'm Ann Parsons. Kirk has asked me > to write a FAQ about Speakup.
