OS X Dictionary, Google Search, and Text to Speech

Kurzweil 3000 has some great products. I have a customer that utilizes them to master difficult(extremely complex) topics in a short order. This customer switch to OS X last fall and had the Parallels Desktop installed. One of the guys installed a interface for Dragon Dictate OS X app. Worked better than on Windows.

Now on Friday came the wish for the Kurzweil 3000 on the Mac. I buckled and suggested using the built in apps from OS X. I had no problem with the Text to Speech. I turned it on in System Preferences>Speech>TexttoSpeech I set the hot key for control + V

Then came the request for dictionary definitions. I suggested we add a google search too. The solution is built into OS X. Double Click the word, right click(control click), select "Look up in Dictionary" or "Search on Google"
