Yes. The bless BrlAPI client has been developed especially for this
purpose. It does this, and also it keeps track of the current position
in a file when you leave it, so that when you re-open the file, you are
put exacly where you were last time.
Now for the bad news: it has not been relesed yet. This is mainly
because it's written in the OCaml language and until a few days ago it
was not completely obvious how to compile the Caml bindings for BrlAPI
in brltty's sources.

Cheers,
Sébastien.
