Estimating the term…
The principles of the present invention introduce non-realtime messaging systems (and controllers for use therewith) that are capable of converting received oral messages from callers into at least substantially equivalent text messages for transmission to subscribers thereof. This may be accomplished by processing the received oral messages using data patterns representing oral phrases specific to non-realtime messaging systems. An exemplary messaging system includes each of a messaging controller, a data repository and a translating controller. The messaging controller is capable of receiving oral messages from callers and transmitting text messages to communications devices associated with subscribers of the non-realtime messaging system. The data repository is capable of storing data patterns that represent oral phrases specific to the non-realtime messaging system. The translating controller, which is associated with the messaging controller and data repository, is operable to process the received oral messages using the stored data patterns and to generate at least substantially equivalent text messages in response thereto.
A non-realtime messaging system comprising:
A method of operating a non-realtime messaging system that is capable of receiving oral messages from callers into said non-realtime messaging system and capable of transmitting text messages to communications devices associated with subscribers of said non-realtime messaging system, said method of operation comprising the steps of:
For use in a messaging paging system that includes a paging controller that is capable of receiving oral messages from callers into said message paging system and capable of transmitting text messages to message paging devices associated with subscribers of said message paging system, a translating controller that is associated with a data repository that stores data patterns that represent oral phrases specific to said message paging system and is operable to process said received oral messages using said stored data patterns and to generate said text messages in response thereto.
