Hear your speed. See your speed. Drive smarter. Speak N Speed HUD turns your iPhone into a hands-free, voice-enabled speedometer designed to reflect on your windshield. Mount it on the dash, hit drive, and let your phone read your speed aloud so your eyes stay on the road. A real heads-up display The high-contrast dark interface is built specifically for windshield reflection. A massive, ultra-light speed readout, a color-shifting speed bar, and a clean info panel keep everything readable at a glance — day or night. Voice modes that actually help • Speak Every 1 — hear your exact speed for every 1 mph change • Speak Every 10 — quieter milestone updates at 10, 20, 30, 40… • Voice Off — silent HUD mode when you just want to watch the numbers Designed for the way you actually drive • Screen stays awake while the app is open • Pure dark mode for windshield reflection and night driving • Liquid Glass buttons with quick access to voice modes • Smooth numeric transitions and color-coded speed feedback Drive safely. Always obey posted speed limits and local laws regarding device mounting and use while operating a vehicle. Heads up: iPhone GPS only updates speed about once per second, so the readout can lag slightly behind your actual speed. Always trust your car's speedometer first.
