The "Start Speaking" command on the Edit menu should do the job. 
It will read the selected text; or if there is no selection, the 
entire document.

Re: how to diff selected paragraphs only

[László Sándor]

Thanks, Oliver!

I use version control, but even there you could have diverged versions
parts of which (but only parts) could be lined up and compared. There is no
chain of commits linking my two versions, for instance.

Re: how to diff selected paragraphs only

[Oliver Boermans]

I would recommend, if you are not already, trying Git or similar source
control tool.
With frequent commits Git chunks up your changes nicely and BBEdit’s
integration with it works well.
