Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a talking browser that uses an external annotation model to annotate a web page. The browser downloads a resource description framework (RDF) file along with the web page. The RDF file may contain a list of acronyms in the document and the talking browser transcodes the document and reads out the expanded form of an acronym. The annotation could also be extended to difficult words or concepts. Once a user is familiar with the acronyms or difficult terms in a document, the annotation may be disabled.
