Abstract

A browser is provided which is operable to download web pages from a remote server and which is operable to process the received web pages to identify whether or not it includes a command identifying that a speech data file exists for the retrieved web page. If such a command is present, the browser retrieves the appropriate data file and uses it to synthesize speech associated with the current web page being viewed.
