Hi.  Try to download SpellTools (the last version is 1.3.3) from 
VersionTracker or Downloads.com.  It has a module that will read text, 
regardless of whether your text application is "text enabled" or not.  
Best of all, it's free.

Hope this helps.

An option with the OS installation is "text-to-speech." It
comprises a "Speech" control panel, a "Speech Manager"
extension, and some Voice files for, I believe, the extensions
or system folder.

You can install it if it's not there with your system disk(s),
or if you don't have 'em, download it from Apple (somewhere ...
use the search).

Once installed, it will read SimpleText files from within
SimpleText, or to read any ASCII file, there's a free- or
shareware program out there called "The Talking Mouse." All
pretty cool
