Abstract
A system that allows a vehicle operator to record and send a voice message without ever releasing their hands from the wheel and taking their eyes off the road is disclosed. This system also allows incoming notification of messages to be read out loud to the user if they choose. The recipient, if not driving, can choose to see a transcription of the voice message, otherwise the recorded message is played back as recorded by a sending user.
