Here's a link to an earlier thread about this: http://tinyurl.com/y5r9zk

His spell checker capitalized Local and If, which I've fixed below.

Here's the script that will play highlighted text through MacinTalk:

local t = GetHilitedTextItems();
if t <> nil
    then
for each item in t do PlaySound(item);

begin
    PlaySound("Duh, select some text first.");
end;
