Basically yes.

Right.

I'd try setting speechd-speak-by-properties-on-movement to nil for that
mode.  E.g. if that mode provides twittering-mode-hook then something
like

  (add-hook 'twittering-mode-hook
            (lambda () (set (make-local-variable 
'speechd-speak-by-properties-on-movement) nil)))

should make speechd-el to ignore text properties when speaking the
context.

Milan
