Abstract

See full text

A reading order extrapolation and management system and process for facilitating auditory comprehension of electronic documents. As an example, a user may access contents of an electronic document via an application and request a speech-synthesized recitation of any media in the electronic document. The application may make use of a reading order that has been specifically generated and improved by reference to eye tracking data from users reading the document. A reading order can be assigned to a document and implemented when, for example, a screen reader is engaged for use with the document. Such systems can be of great benefit to users with visually impairments and/or distracted users seeking a meaningful audio presentation of textual content.
