SoundHound licensed Houndify voice control software to Rand McNally for its OverDryve dashboard infotainment tablet, said the companies in a Friday announcement. OverDryve gives drivers a hands-free way to access news, weather, traffic and sports, streaming music, navigation, calling and texting, they said. Yusuf Ozturk, chief technology officer at Rand McNally, said Houndify enables voice input within the company’s on-board navigation app to help minimize driver distraction.
