First Claim
1. A mobile wireless communications device, comprising:
- a housing;
a transceiver carried by the housing for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals carrying communications data of speech;
a processor coupled to the transceiver for processing the communications data as speech that is transmitted and received to and from the transceiver;
a keyboard and display carried by the housing and connected to the processor;
a speech-to-text and text-to-speech module for converting communications data as speech received from the transceiver to text that is displayed on the display and converting text that is typed by a user at the keyboard into communications data as speech to be transmitted from the transceiver on an RE signal.

Abstract
A mobile wireless communications device includes a housing and transceiver carried by the housing for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals carrying communications data of speech. A processor is coupled to the transceiver for processing the communications data as speech that is transmitted and received to and from the transceiver. A keyboard and display is carried by the housing and connected to the processor. A speech-to-text and text-to-speech module converts communications data as speech received from the transceiver to text that is displayed on the display and converting text that is typed by a user on the keyboard in the communications data as speech to be transmitted from the transceiver as an RF signal.
