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.

In the past decade, demand for mobile phones has seen a consistent rise if other portable computing devices taken into consideration. When confronted with a query, people first take out their mobile phones with internet connections instead of going for other options such as Laptops or PCs. When it comes to software development, the first choice of a developer would be Android OS because of its open source licensing and the sheer number of users all over the world. Text to speech is a process of generating speech by a device on the basis of input text. The focus of a proposed work is to develop an application for mobile customers who are unable to get solution to their problems because of the language barriers. Many companies do provide support for regional languages to solve their customer's issues, however they haven't yet developed a software application for Hindi. So, a questionnaire is formed on the basis of frequently asked questions by mobile customers and created a database as a solution for both English and Hindi. Speech synthesis will have an important role for the people with sight disabilities.

As the use of mobile devices is expanding and affecting various aspects of human life, the number and smartphone users is dramatically increasing. Consequently, the robustness of interaction between smartphone and human is essential for better system performance. By using the speech synthesizer technology for the android, the application presents the modality of text-to-speech responses on android device. In user mobile device they provided Location Based Services for set of services which originate from the geographic location. Using these services it is possible for the users to finding and locate other area, vehicles, and resources and also to provide location-services, in addition to tracking their own location. The request for location can originate by mobile device. When the mobile device is at any particular location it is possible to automatically trigger Location Based Services. These services can also helpful in the user's mobile device itself in order to satisfy location-based queries like finding areas of interest, checking traffic conditions, finding our friends, or vehicles, resources, machines and emergency requests. In this paper we will discuss how to implement these location based services in Android after giving introduction to Android and its constituents.

Short Message Service (SMS) is one of the most often used features on smartphones. Delivery of SMS messages while driving can interrupt driver's concentrations that may lead to an accident. Hence, Speech Recognition system in SMS message activity is required. In this research, the Speech Recognition system is able to convert speech as an Indonesian query in making messages, entering contacts without searching the phone list and equipped with push button for sending a message using Google Speech Recognition Application Programming Interface (API) System created using Java programming language with Android Studio Editor. The input data consist of training and testing data. Training data used is 20 voice data samples on STT message that consist of 10 different male voice and 10 different female voice samples for 7 similar words. While for testing data, 10 voice data samples are used that consist of 5 different voice samples for male and female. System performance based on Result Training Data (RTD), the Result Random Data (RRD) and Grade Success System (GSS). The results for send message show that RTD, RRD and GGS reach 100%, 96.74% and 98.37%, respectively. For add contact, the performance system obtained 100% for all parameters.

Previous research concerning the use of cell phones indicates that physical manipulation of the phone in conjunction with the cognitive need to compose a message together contribute to driving performance degradation. We have suggested that automated assistive text entry schemes such as Nokia's T9 may mitigate some of these identified costs. In this work drivers in a simulator drove and texted using either the assistive T9 system or an unassisted multitap system. Contrary to previous pilot findings participants showed greater degradation of driving performance when using the automated assistive T9 than the unassisted multitap. Findings support the idea that cognitive composition of a message combined with entry interface automation contributed to driving performance degradation. It further implies that the costs of that automation may exceed the benefits.

This project will develop a hands-free system of communication, between a person and a phone. This system will incorporate Bluetooth technology and/or wifi system and synchronize with a regular smart phone to generate a text message without the use of fingers, enabling this activity in a car or in a mobile environment amicably. The hands-free system will be used to integrate speech to text algorithms, from concepts of digital signal processing, and wireless communications to compose a text message by command of voice; providing a option of listening to the composed message before the message is sent automatically.
To develop an android based application capable of sending SMS in various languages. Subject to availability of time, number of applications can be developed using this concept. Success in this endeavor will extend the life time of deployed systems, and directly advance our ability to develop systems in new languages and new domains without onerous demands of labeled speech, by essentially creating systems that learn and improve over time. Sending SMS in regional languages application is a product that combines all the useful features of different applications into one single application which mainly concentrates on creating SMS messages in various languages with English phonetics as input and that English phonetics will be converted into selected language by transliteration method. A radio button password is far more secure than a graphical pattern password, the reason being that it doesn't have a pattern to remember. In this project we developed an application that sends SMS in regional languages by transliterating English phonetics to selected language.

Due to the mobile Internet revolution, people tend to browse the Web while driving their car which puts the driver’s safety at risk. Therefore, an intuitive and nondistractive in-car speech interface to the Web needs to be developed. Before developing a new speech dialog system in a new domain developers have to examine what the user’s preferred interaction style is in order to use such a system. This paper reports from a very recent driving simulation study and its preliminary results which are conducted in order to compare different speech dialog strategies. The use of command-based and conversational SDS prototypes while driving is evaluated on usability and driving performance. Different GUIs are designed in order to support the respective dialog strategy the most and to evaluate the effect of the GUI on usability and driver distraction. The preliminary results show that the conversational speech dialog performs more efficient than the command-based dialog. However, the conversa...
