[Athen] Ipad lecture/conference session recording

[Sean J Keegan]

Hi Nettie,

I believe this is an option in the recent versions of the Speak It! app. 
  I am not sure if there is a specific setting (I don't have an iPad 
available right now to test), but will see if there is an enable/disable 
switch for the highlighting option.

I want to point out, though, that the highlight feature is really just 
Speak It using the "selected text" option as opposed to something more 
like Kurzweil 3000 or other reading/tracking applications.

Take care,
Sean
