After installing mavericks, I am noticing that my incoming messages while in a chat are not being spoken. What can I do to fix this problem? They do read when someone sends me a new message and I am not in the conversation with them. I tried to turn off cursor tracking but that did not ork. I had no problems before this. Thanks.

You have to command tab out of the messages app to receive the notifications. There is no way to fix this problem.

I can get to the window however I want messages being read back to me as I am talking with someone. I hear the sound of the message being received but have to go back and interact with the conversation. I would like this to happen automatically.

There never has been a way of doing this. What you can do how ever is make it show a banner. it will only read a small portion of the message but it does work. This to me is not a bug but a feature btw.
