in os 9 i use to use the command+j option to read just about any text on the screen, but mainly text in the text editor.

so what happened to that feature? am i just not seeing it in os X or is there something out there that will do something similar?

System Preferences > Speech > Spoken User Interface

You'll note at the bottom of that screen a "Other spoken items" section. Activate (check) the part that says "Selected text when the key is pressed"...now you can "Set Key..." and choose Command + J if you want on selected text...
