Making Script Editor speak a script

Script Editor can speak the text in a script or in a dictionary. It can speak all the text or only selected text.

To make Script Editor read out loud:

To speak all the text in the document, open the document and choose Edit > Speech > “Start speaking.”

To speak only a portion of the text in a document, select the text, and choose Edit > Speech > “Start speaking.”

To make the speaking stop, choose Edit > Speech > “Stop speaking.”

If you want to change the computer’s speaking voice, open the Speech pane of System Preferences, and click “Text to Speech.” Choose a voice from the System Voice pop-up menu.
