[SOLVED]: Applescript using Indigo variable

I want to use an Indigo variable (e.g. myText) from the variable list to perform an action in an applescript.

First I defined myText as variable and added some text into it using the 'insert device state into variable command'.
Then I wrote the applescript:

set myspeaktext to variable named "myText"
say myspeaktext

I am getting the error: Can't make <<class Vrbl>> "myText" into type Unicode text

Maybe try:

set myspeaktext to value of variable "myText"
say "myspeaktext"

this worked! I tried so many combinations but must have missed this one.
