No More Looking at Mobile Phones While Driving to See Who’s Calling

Newark, NJ (June 23, 2010) ‐ iSpeech®, creator of DriveSafe.lyTM, the award‐winning, free mobile app aimed to stop distracted driving, is announcing Caller ID ReaderTM App. The new mobile application reads aloud the caller’s name or phone number of all incoming calls.

Caller ID ReaderTM is an easy solution for BlackBerry® and Android® device users to know who’s calling without having to take their eyes off the road or other tasks at hand. Caller ID ReaderTM is compatible with most popular Bluetooth devices to make driving even safer by helping to stop distracted driving. Caller ID ReaderTM combined with DriveSafe.lyTM promotes safe driving by reading aloud an incoming caller’s name or number as well as incoming text messages (SMS) and email messages.

The free version of the Caller ID ReaderTM app reads the incoming caller’s name or phone number with an upgrade message every third use.
