Dear Maintainer,

I had to install debian using the audio-based installation and I'd like to contribute feedback.

The audio-based installation came in handy because I had to install onto an older machine that
happened to be unable to display the BIOS and/or natve CLI via DVI/HDMI. I am not visually impaired.

In parallel, I ran the exact same installation on a virtualbox. However, controlling the installation
using keyboard (German) and ear phones (instead of a monitor) was quite an experience. Here are my two
opinions:

1) The hotkeys aren't read aloud most of the time. The engine appears to silent ?, < and >. I suggest to
   replace them by j, f (and d for example). j and f are the two keys that have a little physical bump
   on many layouts. Impaired people will find them quickly.
2) Having to use a Germany keyboard, I had to web search for the english keyboard layout to know what key woul
d
   repeat the current question. I suggest to move the question about the keyboard layout up a little.


Thanks for your efford!

Peter

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, that's known, it's #690343. The key bindings are documented in the
accessibility section of the manual.

We need these to be possibly usable for answering textual questions.

And conversely people have largely told us that we really need to have
language/country questions very first, before anything else. I don't
think we can change that.
