Hi Jane. This is cool. So then do you just place the rate command in
the text itself? Also, you used rate 300 in your example. What is
the range of values you can put in there?

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.
