Autovoice (Tasker) during locked screen

[jokerswild97]

Good morning all...

I've recently discovered how awesome Tasker is, and I've started having a LOT of fun with programming it.

One particular program that I'm proud of:
1) Incoming text sender is read aloud
2) Autovoice is enabled for 5 seconds
3) IF it receives the command "read message", it reads the message out loud

I've got this working quite well... except for when the screen is locked, which makes it rather useless.

Does anyone have a way that autovoice will be recognized if the display is off (and preferably when the screen is locked - as I'd be using this mostly in my car)?

Thanks

When I connect my phone to my bluetooth, my profile uses the secure settings plugin to turn 'screen & keyboard lights on' for 1 minute. Maybe you can do something similar when you receive a text?

I somehow managed to get this working. Somehow after simply disabling and re-enabling it, autovoice works just fine while the phone is locked!

so now:
1) Phone says "You have a new message from %sender%. Shall I read it?"
2) Phone enables autovoice for 10 seconds
3) If it hears "Yes", then it reads the message aloud
