A system and associated processes may generate new modalities by receiving content associated with an original modality. An appropriateness of an alternative modality may be determined based on at least one of a device available to present the content, a user profile, and a contextual factor regarding an environment of a user intended to receive the content. Source content semantics associated with the content may be automatically determined, and an alternative modality based on the determined source content semantics may be generated and used to present the content to the user.

A method may include obtaining a first audio signal including first speech originating at a remote device during a communication session between the remote device and a communication device and obtaining a second audio signal including second speech originating at the communication device during the communication session between the remote device and the communication device. The method may also include obtaining a characteristic of the communication session from one or more of: the first audio signal, the second audio signal, and settings of the communication device and determining a hearing level of a user of the communication device using the characteristic of the communication session.

An advanced system and method of communication wherein users can communicate via audio, visual, or haptic signals over a wireless network. Non-verbal communication can be conducted via a lip-reading system with video sensors and an interpretive software model, facial and eye movements, and other methods. In some embodiments, the apparatus can be contained within a helmet and/or other wearable device.

Methods and systems are provided for providing enhanced incoming call notifications for users who utilized a relay application designed for those with speech, visual, or hearing impairments or disabilities. An indication that a calling party is attempting to initiate an incoming call intended for a receiving party that utilizes a relay application that assists users having hearing, visual, or speech disabilities is received by an intermediate party. A chat session is established utilizing the relay application between the intermediate party and the calling party. Additionally, a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) session is established that does not include a voice session. Upon the chat session being terminated from within the relay application, the VoIP session is terminated.

A system and method for enhancing communication between multiple parties includes a first user accessing a communication device; initiating a communication connection to a receiving communication device of a second user; and wherein at least one of the communication devices includes a list of enabled universal communication attributes of the user, utilizing one or more of the enabled communication attributes to complete the communication connection between the initiating and receiving communication devices. A user can select a desired communication attribute or multiple attributes which can be stored in the user's profile. The enabled attributes can be utilized by a network accessing the user's profile to complete the communication connection.
