10. A method for extending a voice server to add text exchange capabilities, the method comprising acts of: establishing a real-time interactive dialog between a text exchange client and a speech application executing in a VoiceXML server; during the interactive dialogue, dynamically translating text entered into the text exchange client that is grammatically part of a text exchange specific language into corresponding text that is grammatically part of a conversational language using a translation table which is configurable by a user of the text exchange client; sending the corresponding text that is grammatically part of a conversational language to the speech application for automatic output generation; receiving, from the speech application, an automatic output message responsive to the text entered into the text exchange client; and sending output text related to the automatic output message to the text exchange client.
