Dial2do goes Android; use your voice to text, email, more, while you drive

Dial2Do debuts its first mobile application developed for Google’s Android platform. When active, the Dial2Do mobile app intercepts incoming text messages and reads them aloud to the driver. The driver then has the option of replying by voice. So there is never a need to take eyes off the road or hands of the wheel. Dial2Do will also be announcing a partnership which will embed its service with select Jabra Bluetooth products. Dial2Do is available to anyone who owns and uses a mobile phone. New users can create accounts by going to www.Dial2Do.com.

We all know that texting and emailing while driving is dangerous.  Recent studies prove the point, but really, ones need a modicum of common sense to know that anything that diverts your eyes from the road or forces your hands from the wheel has the potential to be a bad thing. Yet, many of us still do it. Why? Because we need to stay connected no matter where we are or what we are doing.

That’s where Dial2Do’s voice activated messaging services comes in. Dial2Do allows drivers to remain connected and do more in their cars in a safe and legal way by using the form of communication most natural to us – our voice. With Dial2Do, drivers can send and listen to emails and text messages, post messages to some of the most popular social networking sites and Web destinations or even send memos and reminders to one’s self all by using voice. The Dial2Do service is voice activated and messages are converted into text and sent to the recipient.
