title: How to run selected text using keyboard shortcut joined together with a command in background?
body: <p>I am trying to be able to select text anywhere within my manjaro linux system and run it along with a TTS text to speech program. The program is called google_speech and it got a really clear default voice and is really easy to use, however I am finding it hard to implement what I want to do with it... </p>
  
  <p>The program is ran by the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  $ google_speech -l en "I am just a robot but one day I plan to rule humans"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so I am trying to be able to select text and press a keyboard shortcut and the text will automatically be importing here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  $ google_speech -l en "HERE"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and ran as a command in the background hopefully without having to open a terminal window but if so then thats totally fine... I was thinking xclip would be able to do this but I can figure out what command or options I need to be using... my research so farhas gotten me nowhere... </p>
  
  <p>Thanks you so much for your time and skills...</p>
