Free Mobile App Stops Texting While Driving – DriveSafe.ly

I came across this application the other day for my Blackberry. DriveSafe.ly is…

“…a mobile application that reads text (SMS) messages and emails aloud in real time and automatically responds without drivers touching the mobile phone. DriveSafe.ly is the solution to texting while driving.”

It does exactly what it says with an amazing sound quality. You will probably need a data plan for it to work as it goes out to the Internet to pull the spoken words and streams it to your phone. The free version gives you one female voice and has a limit of 25 spoken words. You can choose to upgrade to the Pro version and purchase a confirmation code from them. It gives you an additional 2 premium voices – Male & Female – and you can set the maximum spoken words to 500.

I also installed it on my HTC Magic running Android v1.6. Unfortunately it is still in development so it can only read TXT messages at the moment. They are also working on other platforms like Windows Mobile and iPhone. Support is responsive. I highly recommend it especially with laws being passed with regards to using your phone while driving.
