Abstract: A method for providing text-to-speech instant messaging is provided. The method includes receiving (300) a convertible instant message from a sender using a text communication device (106) for a recipient using a speech communication device (108). The convertible instant message is converted (308) from text to speech by a text-to-speech converter (120) in a media application server (104). The media application server (104) provides (310) the converted instant message, along with response options (312), to the recipient. The recipient selects one of the response options, and the media application server (104) sends (318) a response message to the sender that includes the response option selected by the recipient.
