Hi Tim: Speakup doesn't read any highlighting. It just tracks the
cursor. You hear each move twice because the kernel turns
highlighting off on the item it's leaving and turns it on on the item
it is moving to. There is no fast rule because each application
controls what order the background/highlight change takes. The best
thing I do is in applications where there is a lot of cursor movement
such as make menuconfig is turn off speech with the ins-enter and do a
say line/word after each cursor movement.
