Abstract
A computer implemented method presents a personalized multimedia message to a user. A text based message is received from a sender. Responsive to receiving the text based message, a sender profile is identified within a digital device host registry, the sender profile corresponding to the sender identifier. Responsive to identifying the sender profile within a digital device host registry, a set of corresponding personalized media channels associated with the sender profile is identified. The set of corresponding personalized media channels includes at least one of a voice profile, a static image, and lip synchronization data. The text based message is then augmented with the set of corresponding personalized media channels to create a multimedia message. The multimedia message comprises an audio file of the text message rendered by using the voice profile, a 'video' file of text message rendered by using the voice profile, and the static image with the lip synchronization data, or a combination thereof. The multimedia message is then presented to the user.
