Display typed or saved messages as scrolling text by turning the phone to landscape.

Our take

Presets and automatic orientation switching reduce repeated setup.

Keep in mind: Screen size/light/distance limit readability; not a reliable emergency or driving communication system. Do not expose private text to a crowd.
