As a father I cannot see how Speech to Text is anything other than another way to text and drive and potentially as dangerous.
However, I am clearly no longer objective on this issue as I decided to do something about it after my three year old daughter was nearly run down right in front of me by a texting driver last fall. Instead of software that further distracts the user (especially teens), I built a tool that is a simple, affordable app called OTTER for smartphones. We've received high praise from the tech and teen safety community since April. Its an easy way to manage that text and drive temptation and get the driver's eyes back on the road where they belong.
