Mar 19, 2008 -- Hands-free texting/e-mailing while you drive?

Clark wants to share news of a website that could save your life. Have you noticed how many people text or e-mail while they drive? This is a very dangerous practice. When you're traveling at freeway speeds, you can go 20 yards in the 1 second it takes you to glance down at your handheld device. There are even some states with DWT (driving while texting) laws now on the books. One day Clark nearly ran off the road while reading an e-mail.

So now he only looks at his e-mails when he's come to a complete stop. But what if you're so addicted to your Crackberry that you just have to text and e-mail while driving? Try Jott.com, which for a nominal fee makes it possible.

Here's how it works: After registering your contact list, you call up an 800 number and say the name of the person you want to text or e-mail. Then you begin speaking your message and Jott translates it into the written word.

One caveat: It might be good to mention in your e-mail that it's a voice translation. The first test that Clark sent was almost completely accurate -- except for the words "sen" (send) and "motocue" (Moto Q).

Clark is very excited about Jott, but he's already wondering if it will wind up in his Internet graveyard!

Unfortunately, Clark won't be able to answer any questions submitted via commenting. If you have a question, please try posting it to our message boards.

    Ummm, no wonder what Jott.com will do with one's contact list -- what an easy way for them to marketing themselves to a "captured" audience!
