7 walnuts a day deliver health benefits
CLEMSON, S.C., Feb. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say they have developed a hands-free alternative to cellphone texting while driving.
Juan Gilbert of Clemson University's School of Computing said one problem with banning texting while driving is that people are likely to continue doing it, and it will be difficult for police to enforce a ban unless they actually see someone in the act.
Gilbert's team developed an application called VoiceTEXT that allows drivers to speak text messages and keep their eyes on the road. Drivers using VoiceTEXT put their cellphones in Bluetooth mode and connect it to their car.
"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 said in a statement. "So you can speak to your phone and tell it to send a message to an individual. The recipient's phone recognizes the voice as a text message and the other person is able to respond appropriately."
