overriding, by the computing system, the default preference that the text message is not to be converted to the speech data to a preference that the text message is to be converted to the speech data based on a location of the recipient;
converting, by the computing system, the text message to the speech data based on the preference information indicating that the text message is to be converted to the speech data; and
