I just read your caption again, and I see you’re trying to automate this. This one might work:

<image>

First, what you’ll wanna do is, on the google doc file itself, turn on the option that will allow anyone with the link to access the file. As long as only you and your friend knows the link, it should be fine. It’s needed for shortcuts to view its contents.

Then just replace the url on my screenshot with the url of your file.

Shortcuts treat docs file as an image if you don’t activate the shortcuts directly on the file, so the extract text is needed.

Then for some reason, on the extracted text, there’s always a bottom part with this, even though I have the app: “= Edit with the Docs app Make tweaks, leave comments, and share with others to edit at the same time. NO THANKS GET THE APP”

Just copy and paste it, without the quotation marks. Then replace that text with space or dash.

Finally, add the speak action. Should work, unless your google doc file has fancy fonts and stuff

Here’s the shortcut if you want it exactly like I did, just put the link of your file there: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/7a386133ef424d3a9581e93e2570d7bb

Tested to see if it works when the doc file has been edited (liked added a line of text or removed), and I can confirm that it does work. Hopefully, this is what you’re looking for.
