Device Restrictions Drive Need for Voice-Controlled Tech for Drivers

New advances in voice activation are changing the playing field for professional commercial drivers. 

Here’s the context: In today’s digital age, we expect to have technology at our fingertips. But this is often not a reality for professional drivers who must maintain focus on the road, and cannot reach for devices, look down at screens, or push multiple buttons to complete a call or even control music or GPS directions. 

As mobile device usage restrictions, and fines, continue to increase, drivers need a solution that allows them to access their personal technology in a safe, convenient and hands-free way.

Wireless headset technology company BlueParrott’s new B550-XT Bluetooth wireless headset is the world’s first 100 percent voice controlled over-the-head headset designed to help drivers use the power of their voice to stay connected while maintaining focus on the road.

“Professional drivers need a way to connect safely and seamlessly with the outside world while on the road, “ said David Jacques, Director of Product Management at BlueParrott. “We’ve sought to solve that challenge with technology that is engineered to simply talk to talk without touching a single button, providing drivers the connectivity they need.”

The B550-XT features Voice Control Pro™ to offer a truly hands-free experience. A driver can simply say “Hello BlueParrott” to control calls, GPS, apps and more. As technology becomes more and more integral to our daily lives, voice-controlled devices like these will be critical to help drivers facilitate conversations and functions seamlessly, without a risk to safety or fines.
