Yes, I understand what this feature is supposed to do. I'm just not convinced 
that it'd add to what brltty already provides. Speech, by nature, is slow so 
I'm not understanding why one would want anything other than the line(s) one is 
actually looking for to be spoken. Wouldn't it be much faster, therefore, to 
just let the command finish and then to look for the interesting line(s)?

But you do have to listen to a whole lot of speaking of lines you probably 
aren't actually interested in. Isn't that a huge waste of time?

As I recall, yasr was a change to the screen program. If so, it, like Speakup, 
was in the position of being able to hook right into what's being written to 
the screen.
