I don't think there is a way to read the highlighted word in Speakup. The only way I've found that is close is to use the insert-period command on the numeric keypad to say the color of the text under the cursor. I move by words until I find the one that is black on white. Similar tricks can be used to determine which item is selected in programs that use the dialog utility, like the Slackware installer. Ispell is a lot friendlier for speech, as it puts the misspelled word by itself on the top line of the screen, but many Linux distributions don't have it anymore since, as I understand it, it's not being maintained anymore. Slackware still has it, though.
