Abstract
In one embodiment, one or more server computing devices receive from a client computing device associate with a user a request for a structured document including an image; the server computing devices access a data store for data associated with the image; the server computing devices construct based at least in part on at least some of the data associated with the image a text string corresponding to the image in the structured document; the text string is configured to be audibly read out by the client computing device; the server computing devices also send the structured document with the text string to the client computing device for presentation to the user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- by one or more server computing devices, receiving from a client computing device associated with a user a request for a structured document comprising an image;
- by one or more server computing devices, accessing a data store for data associated with the image;
- by one or more server computing devices, constructing based at least in part on at least some of the data associated with the image a text string corresponding to the image in the structured document, the text string being configured to be audibly read out by the client computing device;
- and
- by one or more server computing devices, sending the structured document with the text string to the client computing device for presentation to the user.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
- receive from a client computing device associated with a user a request for a structured document comprising an image;
- access a data store for data associated with the image;
- construct based at least in part on at least some of the data associated with the image a text string corresponding to the image in the structured document, the text string being configured to be audibly read out by the client computing device;
- and
- send the structured document with the text string to the client computing device for presentation to the user.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
- receive from a client computing device associated with a user a request for a structured document comprising an image;
- access a data store for data associated with the image;
- construct based at least in part on at least some of the data associated with the image a text string corresponding to the image in the structured document, the text string being configured to be audibly read out by the client computing device;
- and
- send the structured document with the text string to the client computing device for presentation to the user.
