Voice-Controlled Earbuds

Moto Hint is the Newest Accessory from Motorola

— September 6, 2014 — Tech
Moto Hint is a new accessory from the company Motorola, which allows one to control their phone through a voice-activated earbud. The only issue with this is people might be a bit confused as to who you are talking to while walking down the street.

For example, if you are walking around and need to figure out how to get to the nearest coffee shop, this can be done by simply speaking out load and asking. The information will then be sent to the earbud and explained through the device. The forecast could be another bit of info one would want before heading out for the day.

Other than having it look like you're talking to yourself, the Moto Hint is a clever accessory.
