Description

ABSTRACT:
A telephone answering apparatus including an electronic clock and calendar for maintaining data representative of the time of day and date when an incoming message is received, a speech synthesizer for generating a synthesized vocal audio signal stating the time of day and date, and a recorder for recording the synthesized audio signals on a recording media contiguous to the incoming message. The preferred embodiment uses a programmed digital microcomputer which detects a ringing condition on the telephone line, conditions a recorder containing a prerecorded outgoing recorded message to play back the message to the calling party, conditions the speech synthesizer to generate the audio signals stating the time of day and date, and conditions the recorder to record on the recording media both the synthesized speech and an incoming message received over the telephone line so that the called party upon review of his messages may determine the time of day and date when a particular call was received.
