Did you check the finder and choose get selected files or get specific files?

I'm trying to learn how to use automator and am completely befuddled.

I can choose an action (say getFilesInFolders) and add it to a workflow, but how do I choose the inputs (i.e. which files/folders to work on).

As a simple application, I'd like to setup a dropbox type folder which will convert whatever text file is dropped into it into spoken audio. So, I assume I'd chain together the getFilesInFolders action with the convertTextToAudio. However, how do I choose which files/ folders apply?
