1. A communication system comprising:
- a microphone;
a speaker;
a microprocessor device to convert a spoken message delivered to the microphone by a speaking user to a digitized message;
a database accessible by the microprocessor device having a plurality of stored commands for matching with the digitized message;
a microprocessor-executable program configured to select a standard message from the plurality of stored commands according to a classification of aviation phraseologies that match one or more elements of the digitized message, wherein the one or more elements of the digitized message are ranked by the microprocessor-executable program in reference to one or more stages of flight operation;
a display for presenting the selected standardized message;
a first transceiver for sending the selected message to a recipient; and
a second transceiver for receiving the selected message,wherein the selected message is received by the recipient and converted to an auditory form deliverable by the speaker for listening by the recipient.

16. A communication method between a speaking user and a recipient comprising:
-
converting a spoken message into a digital message; matching the content of the digital message with the content of a plurality of standard Controller Pilot Data Linked Communications (CPDLC) messages, wherein the matched content of the digital message is ranked with the content of the standard CPDLC messages in reference to one or more stages of flight operation; selecting a standard message from the plurality of standard messages that is closest in content meaning to the digital message; presenting the selected message on a speaking user display; sending the selected message to a recipient; presenting the selected message on a recipient display; converting the selected message from the recipient display to auditory form; and sending the auditory form of the selected standard message to a speaker within hearing range of the recipient. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
