TuneIn Unveils New Voice Command Product

1-6-2012

It's called "Car Mode"  and TuneIn says this new product will make music listening via stream in the vehicle easier and safer with the release of TuneIn 5.3 for Android. With Car Mode, TuneIn listeners now have the ability to listen to music, sports and news simply by speaking a command into their phone or tablet. This feature is coupled with extra large buttons for easy viewing and control.

From the TuneIn release: "Here?s how it works. You?re in your car on a cloudy day and feel like brightening it up with some beach music. Using TuneIn, you turn on ?Car Mode? from the main menu and tap the search button, saying, ?Listen to Hawaiian music.? TuneIn instantly whisks you away to sunny Maui with the sounds of Polynesia filling your car. You can also search by artist, album or song name. Let?s say you?re in the car and feel like listening to Adele. All you need to do is tap the search button and say ?Play Adele.? TuneIn takes over from here, connecting you to the most popular station of a long list of every station in the world currently playing Adele. Now you?re listening to ?Rolling In The Deep? from the top-selling artist?s album, ?21.? If Adele is not currently on the air, TuneIn will automatically play a station that frequently plays her music.

Android owners can start enjoying Car Mode today. Just download the newest version of the TuneIn software and start listening to the world in a whole new way.
