Hi! This service command worked very well for me under snow leopard, but under lion and mountain lion, something has changed, and it no longer works as expected. It reads the text file aloud as the conversion is going on, and if I mute that, the file is no longer created. Also, even though my punctuation is set to none, it reads the section separaters in my file. So, I still need to boot into snow leopard if I want a useable mp3 of a text file. If someone could please tell me what I'm doing wrong in mountain lion, I'd appreciate it. So far as I know, I have the service set up exactly the same way it was under Snow Leopard.

You have to select the text first, and you'll be in a dialogue box where you can choose the voice. To increase the speech rate, put the command mentioned by Jane at the beginning of the text to be converted.
