A voice operated portable information management system that is substantially language independent and capable of supporting a substantially unlimited vocabulary. The system includes a microphone, speaker, clock and GPS connected to a speech processing system. The speech processing system: 1) generates and stores compressed speech data corresponding to a user's speech received through the microphone, 2) compares the stored speech data, 3) re-synthesizes the stored speech data for output as speech through the speaker, 4) provides an audible user interface including a speech assistant for providing instructions in the user's language, 5) stores user-specific compressed speech data, including commands, received in response to prompts from the speech assistant for purposes of adapting the system to the user's speech, 6) identifies memo management commands spoken by the user, and stores and organizes compressed speech data as a function of the identified commands, and 7) identifies memo retrieval commands spoken by the user, and retrieves and outputs the stored speech data as a function of the commands. In addition to general purpose voice memo and retrieval functions, application supported by the information management system include time, data and stopwatch functions, temporal and geographic alarms and functions, calendar management, voice calculation, voice maps, mobile telephone tasks and audio content management.
