The Rapid Outgoing Message Read-out System (ROMROS) is a process or method with applications, including hardware and software, by which individuals placing calls, by telephone or any electronic device, to a party with a multi-option Outgoing Message, can peruse and interact with OM text readouts on a touch-screen or other device, rather than listen and respond to often time-consuming audio-voice options, thereby accessing the desired information, live attendant, or other end-use more rapidly than can be achieved through audio-voice options trees. The invention subsets include applications for a) recording, managing, and transmitting in text form the called party's Outgoing Messages and other displays and materials to phone callers and electronic inquirers; b) receiving, displaying, managing, and interacting with incoming textual Outgoing Messages on any touch-screen, computer, other terminal equipment, wireless phones, or any other communications device; and c) the touch-screen display device, provisionally termed ROMROS-TD, that the applicant has invented for direct connection to a telephone, wired or wireless, as an alternative to employing the ROMROS on a computer or other non-telephonic device that can utilize it.
