As an aside, there are advantages to having an alternative input stream. At
the RAatE conference a guy from the RNIB showed how a DAISY reader could be
controlled with a USB foot switch, allowing a tutorial on using Windows to
be followed with keyboard access and a screen reader. This only worked as
the reader responded to the switch input and Windows did not.
