Are you saying you want the output of the say command stored as an mp3?
Apples embedded speech commands are described in the documentation here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/SpeechSynthesisProgrammingGuide/FineTuning/FineTuning.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40004365-CH5-SW6
All the commands are related to tweaking the pronunciation.

So could you append a file that would be spoken as an mp3 file with
one of these speech commands? Just curious.

Hi,
I have also seen this for years.
this is not quite a bug in the sense that it is the structure for a
speech command which you can see in action by doing the following.
I will not put these commands in this text as I'd rather not make
people's speech go wonky! lol! :)
1 open a text file with TextEdit
2 add the command rate90 at the top of the file, surrounded by three
brackets as in: [[[ command ]]]
3 Type some text below the command you just placed in the top of the
file as in: This is just a test
Now when you do a say all with VO a the test text should be spoken
quite slowly.
The number you type for the rate is the rate of speech in words per
minute.
So when VO encounters the triple brackets in text it expects a speech
command, but does not speak what is in those brackets.
Hope this helps explain this a bit.
Have a great day All!
Cara :)

You know what's weird? The word "secret" was read in say-all and
line-by-line reading. When I find code snippets that won't read, they
don't appear to work anywhere, not just in Mail or Xcode, but I
haven't figured out the rules that cause this to happen. Still, I'm
glad it isn't just me. Thanks.

I even tried it in another editor (SubEtha Edit) and it did the same
thing. So VO is getting confused consistently. Apparently it's the
triple-bracket that makes VO silent. The following is a simpler
example that also fails:
This is some [[[secret]]] text.
I have the word "secret" in triple brackets and VO says nothing when
I move focus there. Text Edit does the same thing. So this appears
to be a pretty low-level bug.

That's weird, but it makes sense that VO is confused. I can verify
it. I can read character by character and it shows up, though.

Hi all,
I've noticed something really odd lately, and I'd like to see if
anyone can confirm it. Below is a line of code. You don't need to
know Objective-C or anything; the oddity is that VO is skipping
text. Specifically, the bit that says [[self solitaireModel]
isDiscardStackRole] is omitted entirely. I recommend you set
punctuation to "most" before continuing. Here's the line:
[self setDiscardStack:[[AITCardStack alloc] initWithRoles:@[[[self
solitaireModel] isDiscardStackRole]]]];
I assume you read that line by line, or all at once in a say-all.
Go back and examine it word by word, or character by character,
and see if there isn't a part near the end that VO skipped over
entirely. I can reproduce this with any voice, and I'm starting to
wonder if the brackets are getting VO confused. On the Mac,
in-line speech commands are surrounded by double brackets, and I
think the speech manager that lets VO talk might be getting mixed up.
