+WIAI Soundboard
+===============
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+-   Raspberry Pi
+-   omxplayer (should be preinstalled on Raspbian)
+-   Python 3.4
+-   youtube-dl
+-   espeak
+
+``` {.sourceCode .}
+apt install espeak omxplayer python3.4 python3-pip python3-dbus sqlite3
+pip3 install virtualenv youtube-dl
+```
+
+It is highly recommended to install the soundboard and its dependencies
+into a virtual environment to keep the system clean. To do so first
+create a new virtual environment in the desired folder and install the
+remaining Python dependencies via the pip of the virtualenv:
+
+``` {.sourceCode .}
+virtualenv --system-site-packages py
+py/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Apache
+
+It is also recommended to use Apache instead of the Python Flask web
+server.
+
+``` {.sourceCode .}
+apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3
+```
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+To create the initial database for the metadata, following command can
+be used together with the schema file:
+`sqlite3 metadata.sqlite < schema.sql`{.sourceCode}.
+
+The web server user (e.g. www-data) must be in the audio and video
+groups. You can add them via usermod -a -G audio,video www-data.
+
+Also the file /dev/vchiq should be writeable by the web user (e.g.
+www-data). A quick & dirty way is to use `chmod +rw`{.sourceCode} on the
+file.
+
+For installation of the soundboard simply check out the repository and
+see the doplyment chapter on how to deploy it.
+
+Deployment
+----------
+
+### Development/Debugging
+
+For development and debugging the internal web server of Flask can be
+used e.g. by running following command inside the project folder:
+
+``` {.sourceCode .}
+FLASK_DEBUG=1 FLASK_APP=soundboard.py py/bin/flask run --host=0.0.0.0
+```
+
+### Production
+
+For production deployment Apache (or other webservers like nginx,
+lighttpd etc.) should be used.
+
+For Apache a sample configuration is provided in the folder apache which
+can be adapted.
+
+Please keep in mind that you may have to adjust the path to the sound
+files in your apache config in order to enable local playback on the
+clients.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Users can browse the webinterface, search for sounds and play them on
+the remote server or their local browser.
+
+Additionally to the normal point and click usage there are also several
+keyboard shortcuts available.
+
+### Keyboard shortcuts
+
+-   Navigation items, input fields and sound buttons can be selected by
+    using tab and shift+tab
+-   esc clears the search field
+-   enter plays the selected sound
+-   ctrl+k and ctrl+c kill all sounds
+-   ctrl+x switches between local and remote playback
+-   ctrl+enter kills sounds before the selected gets played
+
+Live version
+------------
+
+A list of sound requests and already added sounds can be found here:
