A method and apparatus for multi-modal communication includes a controller ( 236 ) operably coupled to at least one multi-modal session proxy server ( 226 ). On a per multi-modal session basis, the controller ( 236 ) provides the multi-modal session proxy server ( 226 ) with a multi-modal proxy identifier ( 138 ). The multi-modal proxy identifier ( 138 ) is then provided to at least one browser with a per session multi-modal proxy evaluator ( 220 ) having a browser proxy identifier ( 140 ) wherein the browser proxy identifier ( 140 ) is evaluated in view of the multi-modal proxy identifier ( 138 ). The multi-modal session proxy server ( 226 ) then receives an information request ( 231 ) from the browser with per session multi-modal proxy evaluator ( 220 ) wherein the requested information is fetched from a content server ( 240 ). When the requested information is retrieved, a multi-modal synchronization coordinator ( 122 ) notifies the other browser with per session multi-modal proxy evaluator ( 232 ), via a multi-modal synchronization interface ( 234 ).
