Siri Wont read my text!!

Hello all, When I get a text from Siri , and she lets me know i have the choices of reply or read it , she wont read it , how do you enable the phone to read the text messages?

Hi,
This might fix your problem:
     Go on the Settings app > General > Accessibility > Speak Selection > On.
Now Siri should be able to speak your message. If this still doesn't work, you can go in your Messages app, double-tap the message that you want Siri to read, and tap Speak.

  • Why does Siri not read my text messages to me?

    Why does my Siri not read my text messages to me?

    If your phone is locked with a passcode and you ask siri to read any new text message, Siri tells you to unlock it first, which you do by entering the passcode and the moment you do that Siri says 'OK' and starts reading your message without you doing anything else.
    However if you have not set the passcode in your phone and if your phone is locked (which means you have yet not done 'slide to unlock') and you ask siri to read the message then you will hear nothing..there will be silence ..and then 'siri will ask you to reply or read it again'. If you want to hear the message then first slide to unlock your phone and then ask siri to read for any new text messages and you will start hearing your message.
    Let me know if this does not work.
    Cheers

  • How do you get Siri to read your text

    I can't seem to get SIRI to read my text aloud...it's silent for a few seconds, then it asks if I want it to read it again??

    Tell it to read your new text message.  Or if you know who texted you tell it to read the text from Mike, for example.

  • Siri stopped reading my text messages

    A few weeks ago, Siri stopped reading me my text messages. I used to always be able to say, "read me my last text message" and Siri would promptly read it to me, ask me if I wanted to respond, then let me respond by voice as well.
    I was on iOS 7 and NOTHING changed, but one day a few weeks or so ago, Siri started just telling me that I "have no new messages" even when I clearly had new messages that just came in.
    I updated to iOS 8 the other day thinking it would probably fix it.
    It didn't. I can't figure out how to get it to work again.
    I have not completely erased the phone and reinstalled iOS 8. I might try that, I just wanted to see if there's another known fix first before going through all of that.
    Googling has turned up plenty of others who have had this bug too, but I can't find anything recently or anything that has actually fixed it for people.
    Any known help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi DigitalDuderino, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know this issue must be very frustrating considering that this issue just started happening without you making changes. I would recommend working through the attached article’s troubleshooting steps to help isolate and resolve this issue.

  • Siri Not Reading Back Texts...

    With iOS 6, I could dictate a message to Siri while holding my iPhone to my ear.  With iOS 7, Siri just asks, "ready to send it?"  I can't figure out if this is no longer a feature (which would not be helpful!) or if there is a new setting I need to enable.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the same issue and it is very annoying.
    I used to be able to send texts by telling Siri "send text to xxx I'm on my way home." Siri would then read the text she wrote and asked if I am ready to send. Now all I get is a beep-beep after giving the command. I have to look at the screen to review the text. If I tell Siri "review" she gives me a list of available commands, including review, but doesn't understand review.
    What is the point of handsfree assistance like this if you have to pick up the phone and look at the screen? iOS 6 worked much better for this. You took a step back Apple.
    To make it more frustrating, if I simply dictate text to Siri it understands "review" and types it perfectly, but will not recognize review when editing texts as notes above.

  • Siri stopped reading my texts

    Siri used to read me new text messages when I asked her to. She stopped and won't even show the message on screen. How do I fix this?

    Read the User's Guide, it details basic troubleshooting.

  • Siri and reading new text messages.

    Why is Siri no longer responding "would you like to reply or read again" after reading back a new text message?

    I never said there wasn't a change. What you expect and what Apple is planning or doing may not always be the same thing.  Speculation is prohibited on these forums but, I'll repeat what I said before and hope you can figure it out: Apple has said there will be new features and improvements in Siri with iOS 7. Sometimes, features get removed for various reasons in beta products and are put back in the later releases.
    And, since you've never beta tested a product for two years, you must not have used Gmail until rather recently.

  • Does any one know EXACTLY how to get siri to READ text messages out loud ?

    How do I get siri to READ my text messages ? What do I "say " to siri ?

    Just reading through this post and the best way to Reset SIRI is to go to Settings>General>Siri and then turn SIRI off. This erase's anything SIRI has learn't about you, all you have to do then is turn SIRI back on and it is reset. It is not necessary to reset the iPhone itself.
    SIRI can only read back unread Txt messages, if you have opened a Txt message and already read it you can not have SIRI read it back to you. Don't forget SIRI is still in BETA and will take a little while while Apple tweek this technology.
    Cheers.

  • How can I make Siri read my text messages to me?

    I saw the instructional video and it showed a woman receiving a text message via Siri, and she picked it up and answered it via Siri. I know how to send that way, but can't get Siri to read my text messges to me. Can someone tell me how that works? Thanks,
    Sandy

    Johnathan,
    Can Siri record a voice memo?
    Do you know if it can read older text messages by just asking?
    Thanks

  • Siri - can I get siri to read to me?

    I wonder if it is possible to get siri to read to me:
    1 - active note?
    2 - active email body?
    3 - active text message?
    4 - content of web page?
    4 - other items?
    A - this would be nice on the items that I am creating
    B - this would be nice on other previously created items...
    If so - what do I tell siri to get it to read these?

    Why in the world would you want that? That's just trouble waiting to happen. LOL. Your standing in your bosses office when a text from a buddy gets blurted out loud! Your at dinner with your girlfriend and Siri starts reading a text from another girl! I see a lot of awkward moments in your future if you do get it turned on. 

  • How can i get my iPhone to automatically read my text messages?

    like the iphone ads show, how can i get Siri to automatically read my text messages as they come in?

    Enabling preview for text messages will allow SIRI to read the text messages during a locked screen, as long as Siri is turned on for lock screen use.

  • HT3529 I bike to work and when I get a text while biking, I want Siri to read me the text so I don't have to pull over. However Siri tells me I have to unlock my phone first but I can't as it's in my pocket. Any solution?

    I want to be able to be the hands-free equivalent on my bicyle as drivers are in their cars. I bike to work and wear my right headphone to I can answer calls while riding. I want to be able to do the same for texts that come in but when I try to get Siri to read me the incoming text, it tells me I have to unlock my phone first. But my phone is in a pocket! Is there a setting I can change so that I can be more functional while biking?

    Try deleting the old backup.
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name and on the resulting screen, scroll down and tap on Delete Backup.

    Also, when you receive a text, just say 'read' to Siri and she'll read it to you.
