49+ ## Accessibility support
50+
51+ All Void installer images support the console screenreader
52+ [ espeakup] ( https://man.voidlinux.org/espeakup.8 ) and the console braille display
53+ driver [ brltty] ( https://man.voidlinux.org/brltty.1 ) . These services can be
54+ enabled at boot by pressing ` s ` in the bootloader menu to enable accessibility
55+ support. On UEFI-based systems, GRUB is the bootloader, and it will play a
56+ two-tone chime when the menu is available. On BIOS-based systems and UEFI
57+ systems in legacy/compatibility mode, SYSLINUX is the bootloader, and no chime
58+ is played. SYSLINUX also requires pressing the enter key after pressing ` s ` . The
59+ hotkey ` r ` will also boot with accessibility support, but will load the live ISO
60+ into RAM.
61+
62+ After booting into the installer image with accessibility support enabled, if
63+ there are multiple soundcards detected, a short audio menu allows for the
64+ selection of the soundcard for the screenreader. Press enter when the beep for
65+ the desired soundcard is heard to select it.
66+
67+ If the ` Local ` installation source is selected in the installer, ` espeakup ` and
68+ ` brltty ` will also be installed and enabled on the installed system if enabled
69+ in the live environment.
70+
71+ The xfce image also supports the graphical screenreader
72+ [ orca] ( https://man.voidlinux.org/orca.1 ) . This can be enabled by pressing `Win +
73+ R` and entering ` orca -r`. Orca will also be available on the installed system
74+ if the ` Local ` installation source is selected.
75+
76+ ## Kernel Command-line Parameters
77+
78+ Void installer images support several kernel command-line arguments that can
79+ change the behavior of the live system. See [ the void-mklive README for a full
80+ list] ( https://github.com/void-linux/void-mklive#kernel-command-line-parameters ) .
