Abstract
The present invention concerns a device for managing voice data. The embodiment described comprises apparatus for displaying a visual representation of a voice message and processor circuitry for associating markers with segments of the message. The markers are indicative of particular storage areas, e.g. a telephone number storage area, a calendar storage area etc. Association of a marker with a segment of a voice message automatically causes that segment to be linked with the corresponding storage area so that the segment can later be retrieved in the context of a user interface for that particular storage area.
Claims16

- means for automatically linking the speech input associated with the marker to a storage area such that information enabling retrieval of the speech input associated with the marker is stored in the storage area;
- and
- an application corresponding to the connotation of the marker which, upon execution, provides access through a user interface to the speech input associated with the marker from the information stored in said storage area in accordance with said means for automatically linking.
