BlueAnt S4 hands-free voice controlled Bluetooth car speakerphone
The BlueAnt S4 (announced early last week) is the first truly hands-free voice controlled Bluetooth car speakerphone to hit the market. All you’ll need to do is say “BlueAnt Speak To Me” at any time, and the S4 will be ready for your voice commands. Once activated you can then activate your phone’s voice dialing feature (assuming it supports it) by saying the person’s name such as “Call Home”. That’s a helluva lot easier than looking through a phonebook on your mobile phone, or trying to dial a speed-dial number.
Features and specs of the S4 include:
- Ability to read out the caller’s name and #. Will ask if you want take an incoming call. Simply reply with “Answer” or “Ignore”.
- Integrates with Vlingo SafeReader allowing you to hear incoming text messages by having them read aloud. Just install the app on your BlackBerry and Android smartphone.
- Integrates with Bing’s 411 service for stock information, movie times, directions, weather forecasts, sports results, news, and traffic updates
- A2DP streaming music support
- Embedded audio help which talks you through setup and the pairing process
- Multipoint support – supports up to 2 phones
- Full duplex, high volume speaker
- Noise reduction technology
- Touch-sensitive volume controls
