Claim:
A network-based text-to-speech TagToe alert system configured to remind a user scheduled TagToe information at a specific time slot, the network based text-to-speech alert system comprising: an application software with a TagToe program installed, wherein the application software is configured to open a TagToe user interface; a group of information entered into the TagToe user interface and/or selected by the user, wherein the group of information specifies the specific time slot and a product or a service, which is tagged (“TagToe-ed”) by the user for a user-self-scheduled purchase reminder; a computer system configured to store some or all portion of the group of information entered into the TagToe user interface and/or selected by the user; a text-to-speech conversion program configured to produce a voice-version of the user-self-scheduled purchase reminder from some or all portion of the group of information entered into the TagToe user interface and/or selected by the user, wherein the voice-version of the user-self-scheduled purchase reminder becomes some or all portion of the scheduled TagToe information and wherein the scheduled TagToe information also integrates e-commerce specific and product-specific information from an e-commerce infrastructure and an electronic transaction system to enable an interactive voice response (IVR)-based telephonic purchase of the product or the service previously tagged by the user; and a TagToe alert scheduler configured to initiate a telephone call to the user at the specific time slot, wherein the telephone call triggered by the TagToe alert scheduler delivers the scheduled TagToe information, and wherein the scheduled TagToe information includes the voice-version of the user-self-scheduled purchase reminder of the product or the service previously tagged by the user.
