Voice menu

[macdos]

MacOS has a menu for changing input method, but if I want to change TTS voice to another language, I have to go deep into the control panel. Is there an easier method?

You can save the following AppleScript as a Run-only application and drag it into Dock for one-click access to the Accessibility preference pane.

do shell script "open 'x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.universalaccess?TextToSpeech'"

For a nicer look, you can change its icon to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/UniversalAccessPref.prefPane/Contents/Resources/MacSpeech.tiff
