Text from your own app or any running app? I think much effort has been spent on preventing that one Android app can "steal" information from another running app unless both were designed to communicate with each other. You also cannot capture the screen bitmap for instance. For screen-reader-like purposes you would need hooks to lower-level native interfaces to tap strings before they are processed by the (graphical) rendering engines. You cannot do this in Android. Once you have the strings, speaking them is easy using the TTS-for-Android library from http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/
