A method and system for interacting with a computer is provided. In one embodiment, a communications connection between the computer and a communications device is established. An audio signal from the user is received and processed to determine a desired function. A determination is made as to whether the desired function requires a spoken response and, if so, a spoken response to the user is provided by way of the remote communications device and the desired function is performed. In an alternate embodiment, an entry in a data file is read and a communications connection initiated between the computer and a remote communications device responsive to the entry. An audio notification is generated according to the entry and transmitted by way of the remote communications device.
