Do you text and drive? Come on, you don’t have to be shy. Many, many people are guilty of this, even if they’re against doing it. Clearly, something needs to be done about this, as it makes the road unsafe for not only the texter, but those around him or her. While many states have passed legislation outlawing the practice, enforcement can prove difficult. So what can you do to curb a texting and driving habit? Vlingo has an idea. They’ve included a feature in the new version of Vlingo, 4.5, which reads your emails and text messages while you drive, so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road. The program, dubbed SafeReader, perfectly complements Vlingo’s primary function, allowing you to speak a message rather than type it.
Check out the video demo of SafeReader:
