Yes, this is one feature, but not the one that I think is the most
useful. I tend to use it for pages that have tables. One other benefit
is that, on most pages, it puts the content near the top.

I cannot remember what patches went into the latest stable release. One
thing you might try is to do in a w3m buffer:
C-h k
and then
C-t
If the command is available, you should get something like:
control t runs the command emacspeak-w3m-transcode-current-url-via-google
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `emacspeak-w3m'.
(emacspeak-w3m-transcode-current-url-via-google &optional UNTRANSCODE)
Transcode current URL via Google.
Reverse effect with prefix arg for links on a transcoded page.
It is in the cvs version that I am using, 24.2, according to
emacspeak-speak-version, but I cannot remember when I updated it. It
has been a while, though.

If you get a page returned to you that starts with:
Cannot retrieve URL: javascript:ArticlePaging('/news/
then you can try the transcoder. You can also use "u" while point is on
a link to check it.
An example page is here:
http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2006-09-23T094036Z_01_L23801953_RTRUKOC_0_UK-SECURITY-BINLADEN-FRANCE.xml
If you go to the end of the article, there is a line with previous, 1,
2, and next. Try what I have described and see if it works for you.
