Stop shouting to the back seat. Driver Talk turns your iPhone into a car intercom: speak, and your voice plays through every speaker in the car, clear enough to cut through road noise. HOW IT WORKS • Connect your iPhone to the car over Bluetooth or CarPlay, just like for music. • Tap Talk, say your message, tap again. A gentle chime plays first, then your voice through all speakers. • In hands-free mode, hold the button and you're live, with no recording step. MADE FOR THE ROAD • Voice Clarity: your voice is processed, not just made louder. Engine rumble is trimmed, consonants come forward, levels are evened out. • Quick Phrases: “Buckle up, please”, “We're almost there” in one tap. Add your own; they're spoken offline. • Cabin announcements: your message sounds like a flight attendant or a radio tower. Kids love it. • Arrival announcements: set your arrival time and the car hears “15 minutes to go” on its own. HANDS STAY ON THE WHEEL • Siri: “Tell the back seat with Driver Talk”. • Trip Mode: the play/pause button on your steering wheel starts a message, the previous-track button repeats the last one. • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen, a Control Center button and the Action button. A WALKIE-TALKIE FOR THE BACK SEAT Link the driver's iPhone with an iPad or iPhone in the back using a QR code or a six-digit code. Passengers can call the driver, and their voice plays through the car speakers too. The devices connect directly: no internet, and nothing leaves your car. MADE FOR • Families with kids in the second and third row • Minivans, SUVs, RVs and camper vans • Tour guides, shuttle and minibus drivers Driver Talk is designed to be used without looking at the screen. Follow local traffic laws and keep your eyes on the road. PREMIUM Premium unlocks every feature with a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
