Hi Anna, Thank you for your reply. When you say auto panning was added, is that the same thing that some folks call auto scrolling? That is, as I understand it, a setting controllable within the braille display which will automatically bring up a row of text, corresponding to the number of cells every so often, settable by the user. In this case, I guess it would be settable within voice over braille settings, such that when you hit the braille equivalent of a VO plus A or two finger flick down to start reading, the book would start scrolling at some interval that the reader headset. That sounds nice, once you get it adjusted.
