Hands-free and Eyes-free Email

Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. (IMS), developer of telematics and automotive safety devices, has announced the latest addition to its telematics line: iLane, the "world's first hands-free and eyes-free email solution for in-vehicle use."

iLane provides drivers with a safe and convenient voice-based interface to fully access their email messages while in transit. It automatically notifies the driver of incoming emails and other information by reading a brief summary in a natural sounding voice, in the driver's language of choice. The driver can then listen to the entire email message; forward or compose a response; and manage meeting requests using verbal instructions. Phone calls, SMS messages, and a number of email attachment types can also be managed using this hands-free and eyes-free interface.

Intelligent information management allows email messages to be filtered and prioritized based on personal preferences and notification settings. Communications not requiring an immediate response can be automatically managed with a preset user preference.

iLane consists of a powerful and small device that interacts directly with existing Bluetooth ®-enabled handheld devices and vehicle audio systems or headsets to read messages out loud and to listen to driver instructions.
