1. A method of operating a communication system over a network, the method comprising:
distributing a plurality of mobile communication devices to a plurality of users respectively, each of the plurality of mobile communication devices including a display, a processor, and executable instructions stored in memory for execution by the processor;
maintaining a communication infrastructure on the network, the communication infrastructure configured to selectively wirelessly communicate with the plurality of mobile communication devices respectively;
receiving voice media at the communication infrastructure from a sender using a sending communication device, the voice media intended for an intended recipient using a recipient mobile communication device, the intended recipient one of the plurality of users and the recipient mobile communication device one of the plurality of mobile communication devices,
the intended recipient identified by the sender using identifier information associated with the intended recipient,
the voice media transmitted by the sending communication device before an end-to-end connection is established over the network between the sending communication device and the recipient mobile communication device:
using voice recognition software to transcribe, within the communication infrastructure on the network, the voice media into text media as the voice media is received by the communication infrastructure, the voice recognition software transcribing the voice media into the text media without human assistance;
providing the text media to the recipient mobile communication device as the voice media is transcribed, wherein at least some of the text media is provided to the recipient mobile communication device without the establishment of the end-to-end connection between the sending communication device and the recipient mobile communication device,
progressively displaying the text media on the display of the recipient mobile communication device as the voice media is transmitted by the sending communication device, received and transcribed by the communication infrastructure, and provided to the second recipient mobile communication device.
