Hands

Hands-Free SMS is just what it sounds like – a Hands Free SMS application that you use to listen to and respond to SMS Text messages without using your hands. Instead, Hands-Free SMS is completely voice activated. Hands-Free SMS will automatically let you know when you have an incoming SMS text message and read the incoming SMS message if configured to do so. After reading the SMS, the application will ask you if you would like to replay to the SMS. If you reply “Yes”, it will ask for your reply. All you need to do is speak to the app to tell it what you want your reply to be. The app will then read your reply back to you, and once you confirm the correctness of the response, it is automatically sent on its way.New to version 3.0 - Bluetooth Support for Hands Free Bluetooth Adapters!Note Bluetooth is only supported on Android Versions Jelly Bean and above.Note this is the FREE version of the app, and as such, it is limited to replying to two text messages per day.
