Text’nDrive App for iPhone
Posted by iPHi under Apple Related, Applications, Iphone News on Wednesday Jul 21, 2010
Texting while driving is illegal in over half of the 50 states in the US. There’s a new app for your iPhone to keep you safe called Text’nDrive. Although the name seems to make you think that this app will produce SMS messages, it actually composes and reads emails for you.
When you’re using this app, incoming emails get read aloud to you using a synthetic voice. It reads aloud the sender’s name, the subject of the message, and the message itself. Sent emails are made as an audio recording of your voice which then gets sent through the email provider of your choice. The application even knows when you’re done recording the email and it auto-forwards the email with the attached voice message.
And, with $20, you can get a version of the app that allows you to send and recieve texts, too.
Even though this app will be convenient for those of you who are constantly on the go, using a cell phone while you are driving is dangerous. Always be careful!
