Doesn't Auto Answer answer on the second ring, or can you adjust it to three or four rings?
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2020 6:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Answering iPhone 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.

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.
