Unfortunately keynote's scriptability leaves a lot to be desired. but here is the idea. If you have a pdf file, in Preview you can do that (assuming pdf is opened): <!cript> tell application "System Events" set frontmost of process "Preview" to true tell process "Preview" tell menu item 8 of menu 4 of menu bar 1 to click -- selects the whole document delay 0.2 tell menu item 5 of menu 4 of menu bar 1 to click set tcbd to the clipboard my tid(return) set curpar to paragraphs 1 thru 4 of tcbd as text my tid("") say curpar saving to file "HD:Users:userid:desktop:soundfile.aif"-- saves the text as audio file end tell end tell </script> Deivy
