A RESEARCH ON ANDROID’S TEXT TO SPEECH ENGINE

Abstract

This paper basically walks through the development of "Text-less safe driving", an application that auto responds to text messages you receive while you"re driving. The driving and texting epidemic which has engulfed the people right since the inception of telephones is not really a good thing when it comes to safety. This basic application deals with this issue by autoresponding according to the users need. It basically responds automatically (and hands-free) to any text with a message such as "I"m driving right now, I"ll contact you shortly." It"s also an implementation of how Android provides access to some great working features of the phone, including SMS text processing, database management, text-to-speech, and the location sensor.
