Keeping People Safe On The Roads is Our Business

With as many as 60% of drivers using cell phones while on the road, most people seem to think that they can handle multitasking while driving. Unfortunately, the statistics show that's not always the case.

In 2012, 18% of fatalities from distraction-related accidents were caused by cell phones, and statistics show that you are 23 times more likely to get into an accident while texting.

Texting takes the driver's attention away from the task at hand, and this distraction impairs the driver's reaction time, which can mean serious consequences.

Because of these troubling statistics, it has become GetVext Hands-free Solutions' mission to keep people safe on the roads by ending the dangerous practice of texting while driving. We offer a feature-rich (and growing) platform where the time in the car can be both safe and productive.

Who We Are and What We Do

GetVext Hands-free Solutions, Inc. is a revolutionary new technology that enables mobile subscribers, with any carrier, access to individual and group text messages and select social networking sites without typing, by voice, at any time, on any wireless Mobile device, INCLUDING ALL PRE-PAID PHONES or from any land-line phone. Subscribers compose and reply to text messages and social network entries entirely by voice. Hands-free and eyes-free. Safely while driving, and at any other time.

Get Vext is a 10 years-in-the-making, proven speech-to-text platform that has been utilized for many different applications - especially where hands-free transcription is necessary.  Our platform is the center-piece of our company. The mature “engine” and development team behind our product will give us a leg up on additional lifestyle and business-use integration as our product becomes better known.

Our solutions are available through several distribution channels:

  • Private labeling of the service through Tier 2 & 3 Wireless carriers
  • Through schools, non-profit agencies and others who have an audience and a desire to end distracted driving, while raising recurring income streams for their organizations
  • Through retailers who deal with wireless phone services.

Just SPEAK IT and GetVEXT will send it to you via email.

What Makes Us Different?

We are looking at less of a direct retail/brand building campaign and more of a cooperative joint venture and private labeled model. This increases our market penetration and reduces our up-front per customer acquisition costs.

Even on a majority of our direct retail sales, we will be working through non-profit groups, schools, universities and organizations- so the brand becomes affiliated with the “cause” and the support of that cause as well.

Traction and Accomplishment

We have made a lot of headway into bringing this revolutionary new technology to a broader market base.  Since we launched GetVext we have accomplished substantial traction, shown below:

  • Established strategic ownership relationship with a leading text-to-speech telecommunications company
  • Developed and funded complete technology platform – ready for launch
  • Signed contract with a large US Non-profit Organization, and through their partnership with Lacoste and and several other Fortune 500 Retailers and Automobile Manufacturers, will be reaching millions of HS and College Students throughout the USA and Canada in the 2013-2014 school years, launch June, 2013.
  • The Governor of Oklahoma  have recognized GetVext and its' work in the State by signing a Commendation in recognition of GetVext declaring an end to Texting and Driving (April '13)
  • In final negotiations with both a Top 15 NASCAR SPRINT CUPTeam Owner, and a second NASCAR Can-Am Series Racing Team, for a substantial sponsorship/endorsement deal
  • In final negotiations with an independent prepaid cell phone carrier

  • In early stage discussion with 3 other telecommunications companies who have a total of over 700,000 accounts
  • In discussion with one of the largest point of sale activators of Debit/Stored Value/Prepaid Cellular with product in over 150,000 retail locations in the United States
  • Several strategic distribution channels have signed LOI's with GetVext- implementation plans are being executed
  • Secured US trademark for GetVext
  • Founders have invested approximately $1.2 million including outside "angels" investors to date.  These are all preferred shareholders. No unusual terms or loans involved.

Why Should I Use GetVext?

It helps people on the move, especially drivers, stay connected to their text messages.

  • When you send a VEXT SMS by voice the software (NOT A NOSY OPERATOR LISTENING IN TO YOUR MESSAGES LIKE THE COMPETITION DOES) converts your speech to a text message and INSTANTLY send it to the recipient.
  • To date, over 30 US States, 4 Canadian Provinces (NF, NS, ON, PQ) and over 50 nations have banned handheld cell phone texting while driving. With GetVext, drivers now have a legal and safer way to send a VEXT SMS hands-free by voice !! **** THIS IS WHY WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND you use a NOISE-CANCELLING earpiece and TURN OFF Lady Gaga on the radio when sending out a VEXT!!!!!!!
