DriveSafe.ly App: Hands-Free Communication on the Road

July 29, 2015

When you’re out on the road, safety should always come first – but when you hear the familiar jingle of your mobile phone, the temptation to check your email or read a text message can be just too much. While finding a safe place to stop is a good idea in theory, it’s not always practical – but thanks to the DriveSafe.ly app, you know longer need to worry about missing those important calls when you’re on the road.

In today’s review, we’re uncovering the amazing DriveSafe.ly app – which allows you to both check and respond to your SMS messages and emails without having to take your hands off the wheel or our eyes off the road.

DriveSafe.ly App

The DriveSafe.ly app is widely accessible – availabe on iPhone, Android and Blackberry phones, as well as Windows Mobile, Symbian and the Palm Pre. To get this nifty app, just visit the DriveSafe.ly website and enter either your phone number (US numbers only) or email address (all countries) to start enjoying hands-free communication from your mobile phone.

What is it?

The DriveSafe.ly app is designed to remove distractions from dirvers, allowing them to concentrate on the road at all times. When you’re speeding down the motorway at 70mph and receive a text message, it can be easy to take a quick peek – but in those few seconds, anything can happen. DriveSafe.ly allows you t to respond to a message outloud and the app will deliver the message word for word. Unlike other smartphone features, the app will read out any messages you’ve received, allowing you to keep your attention focused at all times.

How does it work?

The DriveSafe.ly app is developed by iSpeech, a high quality text-to-speech translator and speech recognition provider. To use the app, you simply set it up before your journey and , the app will pop up and read out-loud any messages you receive during your journey – followed by three options. Depending on the importance of the message, you can choose to respond, read again or ignore. To respond, the app will use its transcription servers and read your reply back to you before sending. To edit your message, simply say “try again” and start again.

For less than £3 per month, you can upgrade to the Pro which comes packed with even more features – including auto-responders. While for less than £7 per month, you can upgrade to the family pack, which allows up to 4 people to use the app. if you regularly travel for work, there are also business and enterprise packs available to suit all your needs.

Safety is DriveSafe.ly’s main concern and their app has helped over 2 million people avoid texting-related car accidents. Can you really afford not to have this app in your life?
