Disclosed herein is mobile communication terminal for performing a
voice-text message conversion process that includes a memory, a voice
data detecting unit, a voice-text converting unit, and a controlling
unit. The memory stores condition information for the voice-text message
conversion process. The memory includes a voice message area for storing
voice messages and a text message area for storing text messages. The
voice data detecting unit extracts a voice signal from a specific voice
message. The voice-text converting unit converts the voice signal to a
text message. The controlling unit determines whether the voice-text
message conversion process is required for the specific message, based on
the condition information, and stores the text message converted by the
voice data detecting unit and the voice-text converting unit in the text
message area.
