The text is being selected would have to be a scriptable application.
For example, here's something using Claris Emailer. I didn't trap to
make sure the selection is text; the script would have to be fleshed out
for that, of course.

tell application "Claris Emailer"
set the textToBeSpoken to the selection
end tell

say the textToBeSpoken
