Gmail should allow you to answer the phone and talk with a robot voice

When I don't have a microphone hooked up to my computer, or I'm in the library or a public place where I need to keep quiet, it would be really cool if Gmail could answer the phone for me.

In more detail.  My phone rings.  I push answer.  Gmail converts what the person is saying to text.  I type a response.  Gmail converts to to computer speak.  My friend hears a computery voice, but we are able to communicate even though I don't have a microphone and I'm not annoying anybody with my speakers or lack of headset.  Also great service for the deaf.

This is a good idea Google.  I'd really like to see you get on it.
