hi tom,
I will search for that option.
I recall that there is a braille terminal option, as I am not a braille
user I cannot speak to its function. Still it may provide something
comparative. Also there is a block cursor option too.
Frankly I need a list to ask questions as not everything is discussed in
the users guide.
Thanks again,
Karen

Hi Karen,
If you're using dos, you must be using a dos screen reader. I think you want
an option like lynx's "show cursor" option which causes the browser to make
the system "hardware cursor" follow the browser's cursor. This makes it
more likely your dos screen reader will be able to find the correct text to
speak.
Sorry I can't find a command line option in links that does that but
perhaps my discription will guide you to it.
It's likely the option is in an option screen as it is in lynx's Alt-o
Hope this helps a bit

As stated before though, I get no clutter on websites when using well
anything I use.
I felt there was an option for links the chain, because when I use the
browser on shellworld, information gets spoken, i. e. the progress of my
reaching a website.
I will ask on the Dos Ain't Dead list instead, since my compile of Links the
chain is for DOS.

Hi Karen,
I am not aware of any arguments for links the chain to improve readability.
With either links (the chain) , lynx (the cat), or w3m,
I get the best results with a combination of browser keys to get me
close to the target text, and speakup keys. to actually read it.
With all the text clutter on most pages, your best bet is to become familiar with
specific landmarks on the site you want to review so you
can jump straight to your target using the text search functions.
For example, I use slash day of week, /Friday to
jump to the latest article links on realclearpolitics.com.

Subject: ot: slightly, improving how the Links browser speaks?
Hi folks,
Hope to ask this clearly, as it may also apply to speakup, at least for
those using a command line setup.
My goal mirrors the command line options included in some tools that write
information to the screen in a way that speech happens largely
automatically.
For example, some programs call this writing to the BIOS, or used to do as
much.
My ssh telnet client for example has a -b option that performs the
function I desire.
I am seeking such a command line option for the links as in the chain
browser. I believe? it should exist because there is a command line
option that establishes numbered links.
hoping that my question is clear, can anyone tell me what command line
option improves how content is spoken when using the links browser?
Thanks,
Karen
