Correct answer Ton Frederiks

It can be done with live text.

When you add a new fill in the Appearance panel, the default is black.

You need to click on the black to change it to a gradient.

Top: standard black text, Middle: no fill, Bottom: gradient fill added in the Appearance panel.

Yes you can.

Give the text a fill and stroke of none.

Go to the Appearance panel and add a new fill and use a gradient for this fill.

only when it's outlined it works. not on the plain text

Legend

It can be done in Illustrator, if you follow the directions that Ton Frederiks gave you in the post above.
