Clemson University researchers have developed VoiceTEXT, an application that
could make it safer for people to engage in cell phone texting while driving.
VoiceTEXT, which provides a hands-free alternative to texting that enables
drivers to simply speak to their cell phone, was created by a team led by
Clemson professor Juan Gilbert. "Through the car's speaker system or through
the driver's own Bluetooth headset, drivers can give a voice command that
delivers a text message," Gilbert says. "The recipient's phone recognizes the
voice as a text message and the other person is able to respond
appropriately." Gilbert says VoiceTEXT could be a better way to curb
texting-related accidents than an outright ban on texting.
