  • identifying segments of textual information in a message comprising a sequence of segments of information represented in a first visually presentable form, which identified segments can be represented in an auditorily presentable form;

    converting representation of the identified segments from the first visually presentable form into the auditorily presentable form;

    converting representation of other segments of the sequence of segments of information of said message from the first visually presentable form into a second visually presentable form;

    interspersing pointers, represented in the auditorily presentable form and pointing to the segments represented in the second visually presentable form, among the segments represented in the auditorily presentable form such that each pointer pointing to a corresponding segment represented is the second visually presentable form takes a place of said corresponding segment in said sequence among the segments represented in the auditorily presentable form; and

    collectively presenting the segments represented in the second visually presentable form and the sequence of the segments represented in the auditorily presentable form with interspersed said pointers represented in the auditorily presentable form as a multi-media message to a user.
