ABSTRACT:
Cellular telephone network textual messages are conventionally delivered to mobile stations for subscriber presentation on an included display. To accommodate a visually impaired subscriber, however, these textual messages are instead converted to an audible format and delivered to be heard by the subscriber instead of seen. In one embodiment, the textual messages are processed by a network connected audio device (like an announcement machine or a voice synthesizer) to generate an audible message which is then sent over a conventional voice/call connection to the mobile station. In another embodiment, the textual messages are delivered as data messages to the mobile station where a voice synthesizer generates the corresponding audible message for presentation to the subscriber. The textual messages delivered in either embodiment comprise, for example, short message service message, service provider information, charging rate information and location information.
