I have downloaded several text-to-speech voices using 'dictation & speech' panel in 'system preferences'.

My question is if there is any way of using them all.
I mean, there should be a different keys combination for each language.

What is the point of having 10 tts languages in my mac, if it only reads any text with the default language, lets say english?

As I see, there is only one key combination definition that can be set.
And I don't see osx to recognize the text's languages.
So, it tries to read anything with the default language.

It is not handy, to go and change the voice if I want the osx to read me french, or go once again set it to italian, and so on.

Is there a solution?
