Read email outloud

[mfreedmn97]

Coming from an IPHONE 6s. Now a GALAXY S7.

One thing I was able to do with IPHONE 6s was "Siri read email" or "Siri read new messages".

I could also " Siri reply to message from xxxxxxx".

Seems now that none of that works with S-VOICE or GOOGLE NOW.

Any solution/suggestion ?

This feature, while not a deal breaker, is really handy to have/use when driving.

Google Now works for me for reading text messages.
I say "OK Google...Read new message" or "OK Google...Read text messages"
If you say "Read text messages" it tells you that you have several messages, here are the 5 most recent. Tells you who the text is from
and asks if you want to hear it or skip it. Then "reply, repeat it or go on to the next one".
You can also ask Google to read a message from a certain contacts
So it's limited to new messages or the 5 most recent messages. No email feature (stock).
And there may be other read commands that I don't know about.

Ok, well then this is terrific. Maybe I am just using wrong commands. I say "read email" and get a Google search result displayed . Is there a glossary of google now commands per chance ? Anyway I will try this. Thank you.
