- In all honesty, I have to tell you that I was tempted to not answer
- your question. I don't check into Blink Talk for weeks, I look in
- and you are taking another shot at me. You guys just can't leave
- it alone.
-
- But, because I am a good guy, here goes.

-
- I think you mean the KTS Brailleterm from Germany and imported by
- American Thermoform. I have used it some and it is working. It is
- hardware based, so you have access to the PC from when you turn it
- on. It is a Braille display like the Navigator, or the Alva, it is
- not like the VersaBraille which is a free-standing Braille
- computer.
-
- It does have the capability to define ten "soft cursors" which
- could be using for tracking highlight bars. I have not used this
- capability extensively though, so can't comment on whether or not
- it would meet your needs.

-
- The TeleSensory system for the navigator does have the capability to use their
- Track program which should help you with highlights, etc.
