+<para
+>This module is designed to help users who have difficulty hearing audible cues, or who have difficulty using a keyboard. </para>
+
+<para
+>The module is divided into two tabs: <link linkend="access-bell"
+><guilabel
+>Bell</guilabel
+></link
+> and <link linkend="access-kb"
+><guilabel
+>Keyboard</guilabel
+></link
+>. </para>

+<sect3 id="access-bell">

+>Bell</guilabel
+></title>
+
+<para
+>This panel is divided into an <guilabel
+>Audible Bell</guilabel
+> section and a <guilabel
+>Visible Bell</guilabel
+> section. </para>
+
+<para
+>The top check box labelled <guilabel
+>Use System Bell</guilabel
+>, determines whether the normal System bell rings. If this option is disabled, the System bell will be silenced. </para>
+
+<para
+>The next check box down can be used to play a different sound whenever the system bell is triggered. To activate, place a mark in the check box labelled <guilabel
+>Use customised bell</guilabel
+>, and enter the complete pathname to the sound file in the text box labelled <guilabel
+>Sound to Play</guilabel
+>. If you want, you can select the <guibutton
+>Browse</guibutton
+> button to navigate through your filesystem to find the exact file. </para>
+
+<para
+>For those users who have difficulty hearing the System bell, or those users who have a silent computer, &kde; offers the <emphasis
+>visible bell</emphasis
+>. This provides a visual signal (inverting the screen or flashing a colour across it) when the system bell would normally sound. </para>
+
+<para
+>To use the visible bell, first place a mark in the check box labelled <guilabel
+>Use visible bell</guilabel
+>. </para>
+
+<para
+>You can then select between <guilabel
+>Invert screen</guilabel
+>, or <guilabel
+>Flash screen</guilabel
+>. If you select <guilabel
+>Invert screen</guilabel
+>, all colours on the screen will be reversed. If you choose <guilabel
+>Flash screen</guilabel
+>, you can choose the colour by clicking the button to the right of the <guilabel
+>Flash screen</guilabel
+> selection. </para>
+
+<para
+>The slider bar can be used to adjust the duration of the visible bell. The default value is 500ms, or half a second. </para>

+<para
+>There are three sections to this panel.</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term
+><guilabel
+>Use Sticky Keys</guilabel
+></term>
+<listitem>
+<para
+>If this option is enabled, the user can press and release the &Shift;, &Alt; or &Ctrl; keys, and then press another key to get a key combo (example: <keycombo action="simul"
+>&Ctrl; &Alt; <keycap
+>Del</keycap
+></keycombo
+> could be done with &Ctrl; then &Alt; then <keycap
+>Del</keycap
+>). </para>
+
+<para
+>Also in this section is a check box labelled <guilabel
+>Lock Sticky Keys</guilabel
+>. If this check box is enabled, the &Alt;, &Ctrl; and &Shift; keys stay <quote
+>selected</quote
+> until they are <quote
+>de-selected</quote
+> by the user. </para>
+
+<para
+>As an example: </para>
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term
+>With <guilabel
+>Lock Sticky Keys</guilabel
+> disabled:</term>
+<listitem>
+<para
+>The user presses the &Shift; key, then presses the <keycap
+>F</keycap
+> key. The computer translates this into <keycombo action="simul"
+>&Shift;<keycap
+>F</keycap
+></keycombo
+>. Now if the user types a <keycap
+>p</keycap
+>, the computer interprets this as the letter p (no shift). </para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term
+>With <guilabel
+>Lock Sticky Keys</guilabel
+> enabled:</term>
+<listitem>
+<para
+>The user presses the &Shift; key, then presses the <keycap
+>F</keycap
+> key. The computer translates this into <keycombo action="simul"
+>&Shift;<keycap
+>F</keycap
+></keycombo
+>. Now if the user types a <keycap
+>p</keycap
+>, the computer interprets this as the letter P (<keycombo action="simul"
+>&Shift;<keycap
+>P</keycap
+></keycombo
+>). </para>

+</variablelist>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term
+><guilabel
+>Slow keys</guilabel
+></term>
+<listitem>
+<para
+>If this option is enabled, the user must hold the key down for a specified period of time (adjustable with the slider) before the keystroke will be accepted. This helps prevent accidental key strokes. </para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term
+><guilabel
+>Bounce keys</guilabel
+></term>
+<listitem>
+<para
+>If this option is enabled, the user must wait a specified delay (configurable with the slider) before the next key press can be accepted. This prevents accidental multiple key strokes. </para>
