Abstract

A system and method for providing textual content along with voice messages is presented. A caller at a calling station places a call to a callee at a receiving station. The call is placed through a connection, and the receiving station includes a callee's phone linked to a callee's computer. The call is recorded at the calling station to generate voice data. The call is then transcribed based on the voice data to generate the textual content of the call. The textual content is sent by the calling station to a server via the connection. The server then transfers the textual content, as well as voice data received by the server, to an electronic incoming mailbox of the callee as electronic mail.
