Very Simple Automator Work Flow

[Jane Jordan]

OK, so I could have done this in Terminal, I guess, but Terminal was  
proving to be difficult to get to work right.

I did an automator work flow that takes text from TextEdit and  
converts it into an audio file.

If you put left-bracket left-bracket rate 300 right-bracket right- 
bracket

you will get Say to read the file at that speed.  I spelled out the  
symbols, otherwise Voic eOver would interpret them as a command and  
you'd suddenly start having very fast speech!  Or slow, depending on  
how you like your Mac to talk to you.

Anyhow, now I am experimenting with ways tomake it even more  
interesting,.  It seems that saving a Workflow as an Application is  
the best way to go.
