Here’s an app that I know many of you have been waiting for, it’s called SafeDrive and it’s from BachKhoa University. SafeDrive eliminates the need for distracted driving by reading incoming SMS and emails aloud in realtime so you can concentrate on driving.
Here are the features in SafeDrive.
- Read incoming text messages and emails automatically in realtime
- Replay latest email or text message manually
- Ability to read incoming text message or email separately
- Female voice and male voice
- Built natively in Cascades/C++
Please note that SafeDrive must run in the active frame for now but the developer has assured us that as soon as the proper API’s are released they will adjust that for us.
I know here in California it is illegal to use your phone without a hands free device while driving and if the police do catch you it could get quite expensive making this a must have app if you need to hear your SMS messages or emails while driving. So if you are one of the many folks that have been waiting for an app like this to be released on the BlackBerry 10 platform then head on over to BlackBerry World and download it today, It’s only $1.99 and well worth the money.
