hi I think this is why it would be useful for brltty to only read the new incoming text if it's below a certain length. You wouldn't want whole screenfulls of new text read out, that would take a while and might not have anything you want to read. It's up to you guys if you add this feature and what you set it to, but storm is asking for a useful feature. Does brltty do this with braille? New text appearing either on the screen if you're in console mode or in the gui if you're using brlapi? Thanks Kendell Clark
