Abstract
A device and method are provided which preferably establish cross-modal communications and allow telephony users and text-based users, such as Instant Messaging (IM) users, to communicate with each other. The device may include a processor that receives a text message preferably comprising a query, a keyword, and one or more responses to the query. The processor preferably generates a vocabulary containing the one or more responses provided in the text message. The method preferably includes receiving a text message comprising a query, a keyword, and one or more responses to the query. The method may further include converting the text message into an audible message, sending the audible message to a telephony user, receiving an audible response from the telephony user, and generating text from the audible response. The method may further include generating a vocabulary comprising the one or more responses provided in the text message.
