Abstract
This disclosure relates to a terminal unit for processing voice information which is adopted in a network system for transmitting and receiving voice information. This disclosure also pertains to a group of such terminal units. In a case where a voice converter is not provided in the terminal unit or when the use of the voice converter is suppressed, the terminal unit converts received voice information into a medium other than voice, for example, into characters, and thereby conveys it to a receiver. In a case where the terminal unit which receives the voice information is not provided with the function of converting the received voice information into a medium other than voice, the terminal unit requests another terminal unit within the terminal unit group to convert the voice information into a medium other than voice and thereby conveys it to a receiver.
