[BRLTTY] Call for testing: Touch navigation on Handy Tech devices

[Lars Bjørndal]

Hi, Mario!

Sorry for the late response.

I'd like to thank you a lot for working on BRLTTY to support ATC
technology. While reading continuously, the scrolling are functioning
automatically most of the times. When it doesn't work, I'm not sure
why.

Thanks and regards, Lars
