A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable storage media storing program instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
• determining, using data from at least one camera, that a user is distracted based on a direction of gaze of the user with respect to a display device presenting video content;
• converting, by a machine learning model, the video content to audio content in response to determining the user is distracted, wherein converting the video content to the audio content further comprises:
• identifying salient features of the video content;
• converting, to the audio content, a subset of the salient features that do not match any preexisting audio content;
• and
• interleaving the audio content with the preexisting audio content by increasing a speed of the preexisting audio content in order to create respective portions of the video content without any preexisting audio content and inserting the audio content into the respective portions;
• and
• outputting, using at least one speaker, the audio content to the user while the user is distracted.
