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.

Hands-Free SMS has the following options:

1. Request Reply: If selected, the application will ask you if you would like
to reply to each incoming SMS text message. If not selected, then you will not
be prompted for a reply.

2. Hands Free Mode: When selected, Hands-Free SMS will automatically turn on
your screen, bring the app to the foreground, and start reading your incoming
SMS (or ask you if you want it read to you if the next option is selected).
When you are done interacting with Hands-Free SMS, the screen will
automatically turn off. This setting provides a completely hands free
experience without the necessity of keeping the screen on all the time. It is
great for saving battery life! When this option is not selected, a
notification will be added to the notification bar which you can click on to
hear the SMS.

3. Auto Read New SMS: If selected, Hands-Free SMS will automatically read all
incoming SMS text messages to you without asking if you would like it read
first. When not selected, you will be told who the incoming text message is
from, and asked if you want it read to you.

4. Automatic Reply: When selected, Hands-Free SMS will automatically reply to
all received SMS messages (only if the app is enabled) with a message of your
choosing.

5. Auto Start on SMS: When selected, if the app is not running already, it
will provide a notification you can click on to have new SMS messages read
aloud.

Required Permissions (and why):

1. RECEIVE_SMS: This permission allows the app to read your SMS messages to
you.

2. SEND_SMS: This permission allows the app to send an SMS.

3. READ_CONTACTS: This permission allows the app to read your contacts so that
when an SMS text message is received, it can tell you by name who the SMS is
from.

5. READ_SMS/WRITE_SMS: These permissions allow the app to save outgoing SMS
messages to you SMS mailbox just as the standard android SMS application does.

6. RECORD_AUDIO: This permission is used by the speech recognizer
functionality of the app.

7. WAKE_LOCK: This permission is required to allow the app to turn the screen
on in hands free mode.
