+     "The @acronym{xvkbd, X virtual keyboard} displays a drawing of a computer
+keyboard in a window on the screen.  Clicking on its keys sends the
+corresponding keystroke(s) to other X clients, as if typed on a physical
+keyboard.
+
+This is useful for systems without keyboard hardware but with a pointing device,
+such as kiosk terminals or handheld devices with touch screens.
+
+A limited number of keyboard layouts are available, as is dictionary completion.
+You can also use xvkbd to send a series of predetermined keystrokes from the
+command line, without displaying a keyboard at all.")
