I would be interested in adding your video to this page, provided that it demonstrates one of the following qualities which is not yet represented by another video:
- A natural language not yet represented
- An operating system not yet represented
- A keyboard layout or design not yet represented
- Software with novel editing features
- A novel workflow, e.g. screen reader or dictation software
When preparing your video, please use a camera to capture a video of your keyboard. I recommend OBS to capture a recording of both your screen and keyboard, as well as audio from your microphone. Please narrate your workflow in English, and include details which seem "obvious" to you; they might not be obvious to someone else. Contact Drew DeVault <sir@cmpwn.com> to list your video. Please include the following details:
- Your name, for attribution
- The natural language you are demonstrating input for
- Your keyboard model and layout
- Your operating system and the names & version numbers of your software
Thank you!
