Eyes on the road.
Hands on the wheel.
Messages in your ear.
HF-Memo is a steering-wheel remote and Android app that reads your SMS, email and WhatsApp messages aloud and saves notes from your calls – with one press of a button.
- For Android
- Wireless remote
- Developed in Finland
Picture yourself…
…driving in busy traffic when the phone rings.
Mid-call you need to note down a number, an address or a time. Then a message arrives. With HF-Memo you don’t reach for the phone – you press a button.
Repeat it – and it’s saved
Say the details back to the caller. HF-Memo records them, and you make sure you heard them right.
Ideas, captured
Dictate a thought the moment it comes to mind – no pen, no screen.
Messages, read aloud
Hear SMS, email and WhatsApp messages instead of reading them.
How it works
Five buttons.
No screen needed.
The wireless remote sits on your steering wheel, right where your thumb already is. Each button does one thing, and your handsfree tells you which mode is on.
- REC Record Save a voice note – or the key details of a call by repeating them out loud.
- PLAY Play Listen to your notes and hear SMS, email and WhatsApp messages read aloud.
- NAVI Navigate Switch between modes and choose what to play. You hear the active mode through your handsfree.
- VOL – / + Volume Adjust the phone audio volume without reaching for the phone.
Attach
Fit the remote to your steering wheel.
Install
Install the HF-Memo app from Google Play on your Android phone and activate it with the license code delivered with the remote. Setup guides you step by step.
Drive
Press, listen and record – your eyes stay on the road and your hands on the wheel.
Features
Designed for the driver’s seat
Everything HF-Memo does is built around one idea: you shouldn’t have to look at your phone while driving.
Notes from your calls
Record the parts of a call you need to remember by repeating them – and confirm the details to the caller at the same time.
Voice memos
Dictate useful points the moment they come to mind and listen to them later.
Listen again
Skip between messages with the remote and replay them as many times as you need before opening them.
Automatic during calls
No need to switch modes while you’re on a call – recording is ready automatically.
Runs in the background
HF-Memo works quietly in the background, so the rest of your phone works as usual – you can even dial a number while you hear it in a recording.
Works in your language
HF-Memo works in every language Android supports. Choose the read-aloud language in the app’s settings.
Months on one charge
The rechargeable remote runs for roughly three months per charge – charge it with your phone charger.
Works with your handsfree
A handsfree is required: use HF-Memo with a wired handsfree or with a Bluetooth handsfree that supports A2DP audio.
