[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Recently, I modified my program that's similar to TSI's 2D reader
so that it will automatically move the display to the next window
of Braille text. Using this feature makes it unnecessary to press
the "right" key all of the time when you're reading. I love the
new feature. I'm not sure how I'm going to market this new fea-
ture. The program will be part of new releases of the Communi-
cations package. No doubt, some will want just the reader and 
not the communications stuff. The most interesting thing I've
learned from all this is that you need to be able to manually
move forward and "override" the automatic scrolling so that you
can set the scrolling so you always have time to read the
display before it changes. Sometimes you can finish reading
long before the display is going to change. This is when it's
necessary to press the advance key.
