Google Now Voice Commands - Google

Does anyone know if Google is working on the assistant to read text messages aloud?

I've tried installing Commandr but doesn't seem to fix it.

Just want to get the full use out of my Pixel XL
 
Welcome to Android Forums.

I don't have the answer to your question. I use Tasker to do this job and do not have your phone to validate that it will work for you. The Profile/Task is ...

Profile: tlaSaySMS
Event: Received Text [ Type:SMS Sender:* Content:* ]
Enter: tlaSaySMSEnter
A1: If [ %SILENT ~ off ]
A2: Say [ Text:Message from Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
A3: If [ %SMSRN ~R [0-9] ]
A4: Say [ Text:unknown Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
A5: Else
A6: Say [ Text:%SMSRN Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
A7: End If
A8: Say [ Text:%SMSRB Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
A9: End If

It is great while driving. If an SMS comes in it is read to me and if it can't wait I park and reply.
