Abstract
Content is received at a receiving equipment from a transmitting user terminal over a network in a communication session between a transmitting user and a receiving user. The received content comprises audio data representing speech spoken by a voice of the transmitting user, and further comprises text data generated from speech spoken by the voice of the transmitting user during the communication session. At the receiving equipment, at least a portion of the received text data is converted to artificially-generated audible speech based on a model of the transmitting user's voice stored at the receiving equipment (and in embodiments in dependence on the receive audio quality). The received audio data and the artificially-generated speech are supplied to be played out to the receiving user through one or more speakers.
