Motorola reads your notifications out loud with Touchless Control app

Motorola updated its Touchless Control app for Moto X, Droid Mini, Droid Maxx, and Droid Ultra phones running Android 4.4 KitKat. Users just need to say “What’s up” or “Read notifications” to have their latest notifications read to them without touching the phone. It’s not exactly ideal to doing this in public as it reads your unread text messages and emails out loud but it works if you’re in the car alone.

The Touchless app currently supports Canadian French, U.S. English, U.S. Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
