Hi, William,
This can be done in terminal with a text file only.
1. in system preferences, set the system voice you want to speak the file.
2. Make sure the file you want to convert is in your home folder (users/[your
home folder name]).
3. For this example, the file to be converted is "example.txt".
4. In terminal, type the following command:
say -f example.txt -o example.aiff
5. Press enter.
6. Look for example.aiff in your home folder.
7. Press command-o, iTunes will open and the file will play.
