Abstract

A text-to-speech injection apparatus (TM, TTS, VMI) adapted to receive a text message for a first user device (UA), to translate the text message into a speech message and to transmit the speech message to at least one second user device (UB) via a telecommunication network (NT) and during a voice conversation (VC) already established on an audio channel between the first and the second user device through this telecommunication network. The text-to-speech injection apparatus comprises a text-to-speech translation module (TTS) adapted to receive the text message from the first user device and to translate it into the speech message, and a voice message injector module (VMI) adapted to receive the speech message from the text-to-speech translation module, to analyze the ongoing voice conversation, and to inject the speech message into the same audio channel as the voice conversation (VC) at a suitable moment derived from the analyze, e.g. when a period of silence is detected. The text-to-speech injection apparatus may further comprise a texting module (TM) adapted to send the text message from the first user device, which is preferably a mobile phone module, to the text-to-speech translation module.
