Don’t Text & Drive App To Keep You Safe On The Road [Android]

Sonalight Text by Voice [2.2+]

Text by Voice is also an auto-responder, if you want it to be, but its main functionality is hands-off texting which is not necessarily automatic. So how does it work?
When you launch the app, it will sit in the background and wait for one of two things: an incoming message or the words “text by voice”.


If you receive a text message, Text by Voice will read it aloud and then ask you if you want to respond, repeat or ignore it. If you choose to ignore it, the sender will receive the auto-response you configured. If you choose to respond, you can dictate your answer. All this is done purely by voice.
At any time you can also say “text by voice” and text any contact you want, using only your voice. No hands.


You can set Text by Voice to turn on automatically when driving, when the phone is docked, etc. The speech recognition is rather good, and only had problems with the foreign names of my contacts. You can switch the engine to Google Voice, if you wish.
