It sounds like you talking about TalkBack, the accessibility program that comes with a lot of Android devices.

In order to activate TalkBack (assuming it is installed), open your phone settings, then go to the Accessibility section. Select TalkBack and enable it (and accept the warning that TalkBack will be able to see sensitive information).

After it is enabled, you should look through the settings for TalkBack and configure it to your needs.

  • Stephen is wrong in a way, Actually Talkback is for differently abled people, or the one's weak at vision, it will read out loud everything, its not what the questioner means. It will not specifically read out elements, and that would be very irritating. – coolhz Mar 18 '14 at 06:56

Install Hancent but retain Hangout as the default SMS app.You'll get incoming text in both apps but you'll get nice text to speech in your Bluetooth earpiece when connected.
