Abstract
A communication method and terminal assist hearing and speech impaired persons. The communication method includes generating a text by combining at least one character input in a text call mode. The text is converted to a speech, and the converted speech is transmitted to a counterparty terminal. The communication terminal of the present invention is capable of converting the text input by the user to a speech signal for the counterparty terminal and converting the speech signal received from the counterparty terminal to a text such that it is possible for the user to conduct a communication with the counterparty regardless of whether the counterparty is a hearing or speech impaired or whether the counterparty'"'"'s terminal supports the text call service, resulting in reduction of the text call service implementation complexity and improvement of user convenience.
