[BRLTTY] Reading long texts efficiently and comfortably

[John Covici]

Speakup is the way I do it, at least on linux, because if the
synthesizer supports, indexing is alive and so I don't have to use
pgdn or something to get to a new page.  Braille is quite useful and
the cursor follows, so brltty works.  Braille is slower for me, but
very useful.
