<p>A facsimile machine has a voice input unit, a voice output unit, and a unit for coding and decoding voice signals. The facsimile machine sends a voice message entered through the voice input unit by converting the voice message to digitally coded voice data, then sending the coded voice data by a standard facsimile transmission procedure. A voice message received in this way is decoded, then reproduced through the voice output unit. The voice message can be sent, received, and reproduced together with a related facsimile document. Alternatively, either a voice message or a facsimile document can be sent, depending on the capabilities of the receiving terminal. <IMAGE></p> |
