Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 09:11:10 +0100 Hi, I think the real problem with regards the pdf manual is the way in which the pdf is generated. As I understand it the pdf is generated using latX, and as a result, the accessibility of the pdf document is very poor when read using a screen reader. For example, I have pasted below the text which is produced when I read page 21 of the manual: rockbox-iAudio-manual.pdf CHAPTER3. THEMAINMENU 21 3.2. Navigating the Main Menu Key Action Moves up in the menu. Inside a setting, increases the value or chooses next option Moves down in the menu. Insidea setting, decreases the value or chooses previous option Selects option Exits menu, setting or moves to parent menu 3.3. Recent Bookmarks Figure 3.2.: The list bookmarks screen Up Down Select/ Right Left IftheSAVEALISTOFRECENTLYCREATEDBOOKMARKS optionis enabledthenyoucan viewalistofseveralrecent bookmarkshereand selectonetojump straighttothat track. See page 40 for more details on configuring bookmarking in Rockbox. Note: This option is offby default. 3.4. Sound Settings TheSOUND SETTINGS menuoffersa selectionof soundpropertiesyoumay change to customize your listening experience. The details of this menu are covered in detail starting on page 27. 3.5. General Settings The GENERAL SETTINGS menu allows you to customize the way Rockbox looks and b ... As you can see, the structure of the document seems mixed up. Also, words runtogether without spaces between them. I'm not an expert on the best way of generating accessible pdf, but it is possible (though by way of latX I'm not sure). Firstly the pdf needs to be structured. The manual as it currently stands uses unstructured pdf. More information on how to produce more accessible pdf can be found at adobe.com. Hope this helps, and If anybody wants more help on this I'll be happy to oblige. However, until the html version of the manual comes on stream I think that a fully accessible manual is some way off.

You did not respond to his questions. As Dominik noted, buttons are described throughout the Rockbox Manual. As just one example, section 2.2.2 describes the File Menu. The second sentence in that section says, "To access the File Menu, position the selector over a file or folder and hold the Select button." What is there about this description that is inadequate for you? Can you give us examples of sections of the manual that cause you difficulty? We would like to make the manual as accessible as possible, but we can't help you unless you help us to identify the problem.
