Speakup works quite well with elinks, there is no special setup you need to do. As I remember you mentioned previously you use gentoo (correct me if I am wrong), so you should have elinks available through portage. You will need to tell it you want javascript support (if you want that, in the modern age it is fairly useful), so you need to specify the correct keyword (I am not sure as I don't use gentoo now, but I think it is "javascript", but if you install ufed then you will find the option within the interface that provides for setting up keywords for portage). Using with speakup, different modes may work well in different environments. Speakup in highlight tracking mode follows the selected link, but it speaks nothing when you move onto a inputbox if no default value is there, so you may want a different mode near forms or check things with screen review (like you need to to read the page). One bit which is not so good is elinks lays out tables in the full 2D structure, while good if you have a table of data, not so good if the page has a table for layout (eg. two columns of bodies of text, or to keep a left navigation bar separate from the main body), so reading flow may not be good. I think this covers the basics, which the normal instructions don't (so reading this email with the normal instructions should be fairly full), but if you still have any questions then I will try and answer them.
