Bug#523036: release-notes: Drop section about braille & speech
Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello
The installation guide now has proper documentation about braille &
speech, so the paragraph about them can be dropped from the release
notes, see attached patch.

- You can install &debian; &release; (&releasename;) with a braille
- display. The braille display must be connected to a
- <acronym>USB</acronym> or a serial port. If your braille display
- is connected to a <acronym>USB</acronym> port and the American
- braille table is supposed to be used, you can press
- <keycap>Enter</keycap> in the boot menu. The screen reader BrlTTY
- is standardized to search for braille displays at the
- <acronym>USB</acronym> port and uses the American Braille
- table. If the braille display is connected to a serial port or if
- you want to use a different braille table, you have to press the
- <keycap>Tab</keycap> key in the boot menu first. Then, you can
- configure the screen reader BrlTTY with the kernel parameter
- brltty.

- Hardware speech synthesis can not be automatically detected. You thus need
- to append the <userinput>speakup.synth=driver</userinput> boot parameter
- to tell Speakup which driver it should use. <userinput>driver</userinput>
- should be replaced by the driver code for your device, see <ulink
- url="&url-speakup-driver-codes;"></ulink> for a list. The textual version
- of the installer will then be automatically selected, and support for the
- speech synthesis will be automatically installed on the target system.
