Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for receiving user input data, such as voice data and text data, associating a visualization with the user input data; and creating an MMS message based upon the visualization. Optionally, the system is configured to analyze and process such user input data to generate linguistic, semantic, cultural or other contextual data for association with multimedia files. By using tagging and indexing, user input data is processed to generate one or more associations with visualizations. A processor or engine searches a database to find associated visualizations or multimedia files that match the user input data. The multimedia files may then be concatenated or streamed to communicate one or more series of multimedia files in lieu of the text data. Accordingly, users can transform textual and voice communication into a multimedia-rich means of communication with one another.
