macOS Shortcut - Dictionary lookup with Pronunciation at the same time

This shortcut lets you look up dictionary definitions and hear pronunciations simultaneously, using your default system voice (I use Siri voices for most languages).

You can download my shared shortcut here:

or follow the manual instructions below to create it.

Usage: Select a word, then press your assigned keyboard shortcut. The system voice speaks it while the dictionary popup appears.

Requirements: In System Settings > Accessibility > Read & Speak (Spoken Content), enable Speak Selection.

Note: To assign your preferred keyboard shortcut, click the info icon. In the Details tab, select as shown in the screenshot below (e.g., I assign Cmd + ').

Manual instructions:

1. Open Shortcuts app.

2. Create new shortcut for Text input via Quick Actions (check Services Menu).

3. Add "Speak Text": Select Siri voice, uncheck "Wait Until Finished". You may also want to choose your default language here.

4. Add "Run AppleScript":

   ```

   on run {input, parameters}

       tell application "System Events"

           keystroke "d" using {command down, control down}

       end tell

       return input

   end run

   ```
