just an idea, I guess would be for 3gs owners since it has the voice control option.

Say your driving and you get a text and you want to look at it to see if it's important but you don't want to take your eyes off the road, the hack would have the ability to have the text be read out loud for you by the system voice, or be spoken into your earpiece if your wearing one. and maybe even a privacy option to where you can have it only read out loud to you when you have a headset/earpiece on.

Anyone else think this could help people? I have no knowledge of how to make iPhone apps so I brought it here as an idea.

If you need someone to actually SAY to you want they want you to know, some cell phone companies are apparently planning to roll out a new feature for phones called "voice chat." You actually get to have a live, real-time voice conversation with someone on the other end! It's REVOLUTIONARY!

Wouldn't it just be easier to talk to the person?

I was about to post that, but looks like you found it.
Havent used it myself tho, so dont know how it performs. You probably have to "teach" it, i guess.

Looks pretty cool

Haha exactly. I just moved to California though and it is illegal to talk/txt and drive. I have been desiring an app like this since.

**angiepangie** · 10-03-2009, 08:44 PM

Welcome to California

**StealthBravo** · 10-03-2009, 08:55 PM

Give us half your income in taxes

**angiepangie** · 10-03-2009, 08:57 PM

The other half can go to your gas

But all kidding aside, I love CA.. Been here my whole life excluding summers & occasionally weekends.. can't picture living anywhere else

**StealthBravo** · 10-03-2009, 09:04 PM

You might change your mind when you start earning a paycheck

**mattharris85** · 10-04-2009, 05:19 AM

I have an app like this on my blackberry curve, one on my iPhone too would be amazing, because like stealth said its illegal to text and drive where I live.
