A system and method for capturing and storing audio information from the forward
or reverse link is provided. A communication device receives audio information
via the forward or reverse link channel. The audio information is parsed and processed
by voice recognition in order to translate the audio information into text information.
Alternatively, the audio information may be recorded by the communication device
and stored in memory for later processing. Once captured and translated, the text
information can be edited and stored in various databases integral to the communication
device. Additionally, when the text information comprises a telephone number, the
communication device can place a call to that telephone number.
