VOCAL ASSISTANT TO PROVIDE PREDEFINED TEXT MESSAGES TO A CALL USING TEXT-TO-SPEECH CONVERTER

摘要

People having impaired speech cannot use standard telephones (102) to communicate in the normal way as they can listen to the call but not use their voice to answer. A system (100) is disclosed, which uses prestored text phrases which will be presented to the call using a text-to-­speech converter (110). The user calls a service (106) in a telecommunication network and after an authentication he dials codes on the keypad on the telephone to provide prestored messages. The user also can use a translating engine to provide his text phrases in different languages.
