Thanks, Stephanie. That is more or less what I'm looking for.
I'm not a big fan of dashboard overall, but do like Gesturelaunch. I wish
there were a way to use just this feature of the app.
I am tempted to write a simple tool button app to do it, but have never
programmed for the Newton. Well...never really done anything more complex
than Hypertalk, VB, Lingo, ASP, PHP, etc.

Subject: Re: [NTLK] speak hilited text
If you use Dashboard or have another way of using a bit of newtonscript, you
can use this:
//Speak Text
local t := GetHilitedTextItems();
local vox := "[[svox kath]]";
if not(t = nil) then begin
foreach item in t do PlaySound(vox&item);
end;
This is the script I have saved in dashboard for speaking selected text.
The bit [[svox kath]] sets the voice to Kathy. You can set it to other
voices, I forget the codes for the others but you can tinker around with it.
I think they're all four characters.
