I came across a pretty neat idea in the Blackberry App World today, an app for your Blackberry Smartphone called “Drive Safely” that reads your incoming texts out loud to you while you are driving so you don’t look down at your phone and become distracted while reading that all-too-tempting text. It’s a free app (although you may buy a souped-up version, too) and here’s what it offers:
Features include:
-It is free to use DriveSafe.ly
-Automatically plays incoming text SMS and email messages
-Play messages on demand through menu
-No complicated software to install easy to use
-Small footprint lightweight app does not slow down your phone
-Customizable auto-response and timeout duration
-Human sounding text to speech powered by iSpeech.org
Just a thought while TWD (Texting While Driving) is on my mind. Let me know if you try it.
