Am I just missing something or is it required for Voiceover to be on to have it read the notifications out loud?
Got a tip for us?

Voiceover required for Siri to read notifications?

Yes it does, which doesn't even need Siri to be on...this feature has been here since the 3GS, but I hardly call it a feature as it is annoying to turn VoiceOver on and off. I suggest turning on Triple Click Home for VoiceOver and turn it on before you put your phone to sleep.
:\ Hmm... I might just live without it then. I would think that with Siri, that the accessibility functions wouldn't need to be running to have that option.
If you receive a notification on the lockscreen and activate Siri, then tell her to read the text message or notification, she will.
Voiceover isn't needed to accomplish this.
