Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for creating a specific audio message for playback, in a data processing system. The data processing system has a multitude of diverse data types, and the audio message includes one or more audio segments and a presentation that is associated with one or more unique identifiers. Each of the unique identifiers includes a specification of a particular data type to be returned for presentation. The user is prompted to record one or more audio segments. One or more of the unique identifiers are associated with the audio segments. In response to a query from a caller or a signal from the data processing system, the audio message is automatically presented by presenting the audio segments and the presentation associated with the unique identifiers. The presentation is created by retrieving the data type and the location specified by unique identifiers from the data processing system.
