Hands-Free Forum Reading & Posting

I think one of the great things about the trucking community is the tight-way in which truckers will help others with advice and knowledge. These forums are an example of that.

But being on the road all the time limits the replies and reads in which truckers can discuss about topics - while driving the truck one can't post on threads of course!

I'm thinking what would be awesome is a smartphone app that reads out forum posts, and lets you talk out loud to reply. I do a bit of programming on my spare time I could spend some time making an app to do this. Anybody interested in testing it out with me?

In my experience voice to text has a long way to go on phones. There are so many wrong words that it's just a dangerous as typing a reply. Also not many want to be on a forum constantly.

you've got to be kidding me?...doing anything but concentrating on the job at hand is dangerous and even liable...The forums have nothing that important that can't wait till one is parked.....IMO of course....

Google Text-to-Speech is enabled by default on Android phones, anyway, as is the Speech-to-Typing thing.
