circuit includes a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver (20),
memory (40) and a speech processor (30). For example, the wireless local
area network transceiver (20) may be a Bluetooth transceiver that
communicates with the wireless device (320) and receives wireless device
information (80). The wireless device information (80) may represent
caller identification information, call processing information relating
to the status of a call, phone status information or any suitable
information. The speech processor (30) produces audio information (90)
