Abstract
An arrangement (FIG. 4 ) that automatically generates and manages a subscriber's personal greeting for a voice message system (1000), based upon information contained in the subscriber's electronic schedule database (1007), such as a calendar manager program's database, stored in a computer (1002). The arrangement, implemented as a process on the computer, periodically converts information for the present time that is stored in the schedule database into a voicable greeting, using text-to-speech conversion facilities, and sends the greeting to the voice message system for conventional use.
