While you can save the page to disk using IE's:
openURL "
http://server/file.html"; to file "path:to:saved.html"
there's no need to save it to an intermediate file.
IE has a command 'GetSource' which will return the source of the frontmost
window as an AppleScript text object. You can then use normal AppleScript
text manipulation to extract the text you want and speak it.
If you do really want to pass it into Tex-Edit Plus:
tell application "Internet Explorer"
set theText to GetSource
end tell
tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
make new document with properties {contents:theText}
end tell
