1. A device, comprising:
- a speech capture element that captures speech messages;
a user interface;
a processing system, coupled to the speech capture element and coupled to the user interface, including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
initiating a communication session, wherein the communication session includes exchanging communications between a user and a member communication device;
responsive to the initiating the communication session, accessing a user profile that is associated with the user, wherein the user profile includes a determination of a pattern of prior speech messages of the user captured by the speech capture element;
determining a speech capture time period that is based on a time between;
an activation of the initiating the communication session, and a period after detecting that the user has stopped speaking, wherein the determining of the speech capture time period is according to the pattern in the user profile;
capturing, using the speech capture element, an input speech message;
appending, to the user profile and to a data set comprising elapsed speech times, the speech capture time period; and
transmitting, to the member communication device, a message representative of the input speech message.

10. A network element, comprising:
-
a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; facilitating establishing a communication session that includes exchanging communications between a first member device and a second member device; determining, based on prior speech messages that are in accordance with a pattern of prior speech messages of a user profile, a speech capture time period that is based on an elapsed time between;
an initiating of the communication session, and a period after detecting that a user has stopped speaking;receiving, as a captured speech message, a speech message that is captured by a speech capture element, wherein the speech capture element is part of the first member device; transmitting, to the second member device, a message that is representative of the captured speech message; and updating, according to an accuracy of the captured speech message, a user profile, wherein the accuracy of the captured speech message is in relation to the speech capture time period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
initiating a communication session; accessing, responsive to initiating the communication session, a user profile; determining, based on prior speech messages that are in accordance with a pattern of prior speech messages of the user profile, a speech capture time period that is based on a time between; an activation of the initiating the communication session, and a period after detecting that a user has stopped speaking; activating a speech capture element, wherein the speech capture element is maintained, for the speech capture time period, in an active state; detecting, at the speech capture element, a speech message; transmitting, to a member communication device, a message that is representative of the speech message; and appending the user profile, wherein the user profile is appended according to a time that is based on the activation of the speech capture element and that is based on an end of the speech message. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
