a processor;
a speaker;
a donned or doffed detector configured to identify a headset donned state or a headset doffed state, wherein the headset donned state is the headset worn on a user ear;
a text to speech application comprising instructions which when executed by the processor cause the headset to convert a text based message to audio speech; and
