Abstract
A system in one embodiment includes a server associated with a unified messaging system (UMS). The server records speech of a user as an audio data file, translates the audio data file into a text data file, and maps each word within the text data file to a corresponding segment of audio data in the audio data file. A graphical user interface (GUI) of a message editor running on an endpoint associated with the user displays the text data file on the endpoint and allows the user to identify a portion of the text data file for replacement. The server being further operable to record new speech of the user as new audio data and to replace one or more segments of the audio data file corresponding to the portion of the text with the new audio data.
