摘要:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for reproducing digitized voicemail (verbal) message signals destined for a recipient at various different text reproducing devices (18,20,22). Upon accessing a mailbox (12) storing a voicemail message and providing a predetermined feature access code, the recipient is able to have a digitized voicemail message signal converted into an ASCII text signal and reproduced at an electronic display device (18), a printing device (20), and/or a facsimile device (22). The voicemail apparatus (10) includes a voicemail messaging system (12) for receiving and storing voicemail messages received from a public/private voice network (24), a voice-to-text processing system (14), a file server (16), and a variety of different text reproducing devices. The voice-to-text processing system (14) converts a voicemail message from a digitized voice message signal into an ASCII text message signal which is stored in the file server (16). The file server distributes each stored text message signal to the proper text reproducing device in response to a user of the voicemail apparatus entering a predetermined feature access code associated with that text reproducing device either to the voice messaging system or the file server. The apparatus can also be arranged to automatically reproduce each voicemail message for a predetermined recipient at a predetermined one of the text reproducing devices.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for producing voicemail (verbal) messages from various text and voice input messages destined for a recipient. Digital text image input signals from, for example, document scans or facsimile devices are converted into ASCII text input signals and chronologically merged with ASCII text input signals received from, for example, E-Mail messages or personal computer files or displays. Each of the ASCII text input signals is converted into a voice message signal and stored chronologically with other verbally-converted text messages and direct voice input messages in a personal voicemail mailbox associated with the recipient. Each of the verbally-converted text and direct voice input messages stored in the personal voicemail mailbox includes a verbal indication of a time of arrival and a source of the message. The recipient is able to access the personal voicemail mailbox and receive the stored verbally-converted text and direct voice input messages in verbal form in the chronological order received.

摘要:
A method and means for "piggy backing" a FAX transmission on a video call. A document, in the form of modulated facsimile data, is received from a machine located in proximity of a sending station. The document is demodulated, packetized and a header, indicating that the packet contains facsimile data, is added. The packets are then injected into a digital video stream carrying video conference data bound for the receiving station.
