Interesting, as I thought Apple'sSiri could
Read EMailMessages. Thought this would have been
Possible since Apple Controls the Hardware & Software.
Samsung'sBixby (i.e.,
Samsung'sPersonalAssistant) can Read
EMailMessages, TextMessages, etc etc. & ON
Samsung's Galaxy MobilePhones
the AutomaticAnswer is only Activated when
Connected to either a BlueToothHeadset or a WiredHeadset

There is no speak command to answer the phone.
There is an auto answer setting you can enable
but that means it's going to answer whether he's by the phone or not.
Not my first choice.
Otherwise I think voiceover gesture is the only
way unless he can learn where to touch his
finger and slide to answer without voiceover.
Sadly, Siri will not read emails.
I suppose you could try turning on speak screen,
but he would have to be able to open the email
first, and that does not sound possible. So I
would write Apple accessibility as well as call
them and ask about getting Siri to read emails.
This is the one feature that it should've had
from the start and is stupid in my opinion that it does not.

Hi Group,
I am working with an individual that is very
low vision and is also suffering from a mild
case of dementia and he gets overwhelmed
easily. He is using an iPhone 8 and I am very
reluctant to turn on voice over. I think it
will be too difficult for him to remember the voiceover commands.
There are two immediate things that I want to
accomplish with him using the Hey Siri command
or any other speaking options if available.
First is there an easy way to answer a incoming
phone call without being able to see the
screen. Second, we were able to successfully
send an email message using the Hey Siri
command. Is there a way to have Siri read and
email message aloud. Every time I ask Siri to
read my email messages, it only tells me the
name of the sender and the subject line and
does not read the actual email message.
Any help is much appreciated.
Mario
