DNT TXT N DRV apps
Keep the conversation and message from the Remember Alex Brown Foundation alive. To help keep you and others safe while driving there are some apps that help manage text messages while driving.
1) Drive Safely: This FREE app is a mobile application that reads text (SMS) messages and emails aloud in real time and automatically responds without drivers touching the mobile phone.
2) Text Toggle: This app is designed to intercept text messages while driving, and immediately reply to the sender with a personalized message.
3) Phone Guard: per hour as detected by global positioning satellite (GPS) tracking, This app locks the phone’s keyboard once the vehicle speed reaches 10 miles per hour preventing the user from emailing, surfing the web or texting while driving and automatically sends a customized pre-set response that is delivered to the texter or caller that reads, for example “I am driving and will contact you when I reach my destination.”
