Abstract

A method (300) for operating a computer system (100), said computer system comprising a: first Audio Communication Machine (110-1), ACM; and second ACM (110-2) that is communicatively connected to the second ACM via a telecommunications network (120) over a first communication link (130); and wherein the first ACM and the second ACM each respectively comprise a first and a second: Machine Natural Language Text Generator (240), MNLTG; audio processor (210), including a: Machine Speech-to-Text Processor (260), MStTP, for converting speech into text; Machine Text-to-Speech Synthesiser (270), MTtSS, for converting text generated by the MNLTG into speech; and Identifier Generator (230), IG, for generating an identifier, ID, denoting machinegenerated communications; and wherein the method comprises the steps of: generating, at the first ACM (310): an ID, using the first IG; first text, using the first MNLTG; first speech, from said generated first text and using the first MTtSS; and audio data comprising the generated first speech and the ID; communicating (310), from the first ACM to the second ACM, via the first communication link, the generated audio data; receiving (320), at the second ACM, the communicated audio data; identifying, using the second audio processor, the ID within the communicated audio data; and in response to the second ACM identifying the ID, the second ACM communicating, to the first ACM, a textual response, generated by the second MNLTG, to the first speech (330-1). Corresponding methods of operating the first ACM and the second ACM are also provided. A computer system, first ACM and a second ACM are also provided.
