Hi Mike. First off, if you press return on the action you want in
automator, it will be added to the work flow. So drag and drop isn't
necessary in this case.
As for the rate, yes you can speed it up. You need to put a command
at the top of your text file. I don't know if I can type the command,
because the speech may act on it, so I'll describe. You need two left
brackets, followed by the word rate, followed by a space, followed by
a number, followed by two right brackets. The number is the speaking
rate in words per minute. This is different then what we see in
VoiceOver, which is a percentage. You'll have to do some playing to
see what rate works for you. With Alex, I personally like a rate of
300 for books I've done.
Note also that the brackets I refer to are the ones to the right of
the p key.
Hope this made sense.
